Exploring Opportunities for Energy Parks: Bringing Energy Parks to Practice
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 discussion will elevate key challenges in the siting, permitting, operation, and governance of energy parks. The conversation will address the legal dimensions of co-located energy generation with use and storage, engagement with local communities, complex financial structures, and management of shared infrastructure and revenue. Opportunities for overcoming obstacles to realizing the benefits of energy parks will be highlighted and addressed.
This is the second 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.
