# PowerUp: The Future of Energy Storage

Kelley Drye Seminar

 September 24, 2015 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm (EDT)

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kelley Drye and Navigant present the seventh in a series of thought leadership programs structured to provide a high-level interactive discussion, and analysis on some of the most pressing topics within the energy industry.

Energy storage has been described as the ​“missing link” in our evolving energy system. As we move to an electric grid with more distributed renewable and intermittent energy resources, the need for cost-effective energy storage has become ever more evident. Recent progress has been made in technology advancements, regulatory changes, and new energy market structures. But when will we see wide-scale adoption of energy storage?

Join our September 24th PowerUP panel discussion as we explore different perspectives on the current state of the energy storage market, including views from the R&D community, an early stage technology provider, an energy storage developer, and the electric utility.

The forum brings together some of the region’s most prominent thought leaders including C-level executives, in-house counsel from Midwest-based energy companies, service providers and energy industry investors. Each session is highly participatory and concludes with a networking reception.

**Panel Speakers**

**George Crabtree** (invited) – Director, Argonne National Labs, Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR) **Scott A. Pearson** – CEO, Aquion Energy  
**Kris Zadlo** – VP of Storage, Regulatory Affairs, and Transmission, Invenergy
