On November 12, 2024, Will McNamara presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissions (NARUC) held in Anaheim, CA. The purpose of Will’s presentation was to inform attendees, primarily state regulators and representatives from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), about the newly launched Energy Storage Working Group for Utility Regulators and Staff (RESWG). This collaboration between the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) and Sandia National Laboratories provides a free, monthly, private online meeting for state electric utility regulators to gather, share information, and learn from experts on specific topics of interest identified by the group.
This working group is important because it offers an exclusive forum for state regulators to collaborate and share information on energy storage-related topics, facilitated by Sandia and CESA. Sandia’s involvement allows for guiding discussions toward critically important topics within the process of enabling energy storage in regulatory frameworks.
The Annual Meeting of NARUC is one of the few meetings held throughout the year where regulatory representatives from every U.S. state are present. Thus, having the opportunity to present at this event is significant, providing a platform to directly engage with state regulators and inform them of the services that Sandia is providing.
