A battery energy storage system (BESS) is being proposed in Medway and questions have been raised about what it is, where it will be, and whether it is safe. In this program, featuring five experts in the field of energy and the environment, we will get a primer on BES technology and its role in the fight against climate change.
At the event, Rep. Roy will introduce and engage with the panel which includes:
Dwayne Breger, the Director of the UMass Clean Energy Extension;
Elizabeth Turnbull Henry, President of the Environmental League of Massachusetts;
Coleen O'Brien, General Manager of the Reading Municipal Light Department;
Matt Paiss - Technical Advisor, Battery Materials & Systems, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; and
Kavita Ravi, Senior Director at BlueWave Solar.
