Valerie Karplus Participates in National Academies Webinar on Energy Parks

Valerie Karplus participated in a National Academies webinar on February 12 at 1 PM ET about the promise and potential of energy parks. The discussion explored how energy parks can meet increasing energy demand, provide energy resilience and reliability, and support the testing of innovative technologies.

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. — National Academies
