Exploring Opportunities for Energy Parks: The Promise and Potential of Energy Parks
Energy Parks are an emerging approach to designing integrated hubs that co-locate generation, storage, and large-scale load (e.g. data centers, advanced manufacturing) at one point of interconnection to the electric grid. This webinar will explore energy parks as a strategy to meet increasing energy demand and provide energy resilience and reliability in an efficient, cost-effective manner, while also enabling the testing of innovative technologies. Specific efforts to create energy parks and means for these efforts to address existing energy system challenges will be highlighted.
This is the first in a 2-part webinar series hosted by the National Academies Forum on Energy Systems Transformation and Decarbonization. The Forum seeks to provide a strategic, rapid response capability for grappling with the dynamic nature of energy system transitions and serve as a venue for independent, high-quality advising and consensus building on the future of energy in the United States.
