Start: 2026-01-23T02:00:00.000Z
Location: Jefferson Unitarian Church

**In-person** **and live streaming (link will appear here)**
Battery energy storage is *the* key for making the renewable energy transition a reality. Consequently, this industry is growing extremely fast, despite facing hurdles over safety and restricted supply chains.

Our presenter, **Allison Weis**, PhD, shares her insights on where batteries are headed across all applications but will focus on utility scale markets, based on her expertise as Global Head of Storage at Wood Mackenzie, a leading global research consultancy for renewables, energy and natural resources.

Please plan to stay for a **reception with food, drinks, and conversations** afterwards. This event is **FREE,** but you're welcome to put a donation in the basket.

**Hybrid event**, in-person and live streaming

Ample free parking right outside. Wheelchair accessible, and we have assisted listening devices.

Our 7 PM start time is outside the busy traffic time, and getting there is easy. We're a mile west of the I-70 exit at Youngfield/32nd Ave (Applewood).
