With the American Clean Power Association’s brand new RECHARGE conference taking place this week in Portland, Oregon, we decided to bring on a guest who is the leader of a battery energy storage company that just so happens to be headquartered in The Rose City.  Chris Taylor, the CEO of GridStor, has been in the renewables industry for a long time, so he joins the show to discuss the origins of GridStor and how the battery sector has grown in recent years. Ahead of his appearance on the "A View From the Top - Energy Storage Leadership Fireside Chat" panel discussion at the RECHARGE conference, Chris also shares his insights about the state of the marketplace and how factors like the Inflation Reduction Act and growth in energy storage procurement among utilities and corporations are driving big interest in batteries.Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBriefFollow the show on Twitter @RenewablesPod
