On Monday, June 8, Wilson Sonsini is proud to host the WRISE San Francisco Long Duration Energy Storage Panel (LDES). LDES has rapidly become one of the hottest topics in the clean energy transition—and for good reason. As renewables reach record penetration and electricity demand surges from electrification, data centers, and industrial growth, LDES is emerging as a critical tool for delivering reliability on both sides of the meter. Join us for an in-depth panel exploring the technologies, market demand, and deployment models shaping this emerging space.

This panel brings together leading voices from across the LDES landscape to discuss the technologies, economics, and policy frameworks shaping the future of grid-scale storage. Topics will include:

• The current state of LDES technologies, such as iron-air, thermal, etc.
• Where LDES fits: behind-the-meter deployments for industrial load-shifting and 24/7 clean energy goals vs. grid-tied projects providing capacity, reliability, and renewable integration
• How utilities and grid operators are integrating multi-day storage into resource planning
• The policy landscape and what's needed to accelerate deployment. Policy levers and market mechanisms driving deployment
• What the next five years will look like as pilot projects scale to commercial operation

Featured Wilson Sonsini panelist includes Of Counsel Melissa Wright.
