Energy costs are rising, and it’s not just about paying more for groceries. With more extreme weather events and outdated infrastructure, energy demands are up. But long-duration energy storage could be the solution to making energy more affordable and reliable.

In today’s episode, I'm talking to Julia Souder, CEO of the Long Duration Energy Storage Association. Julia explains how long-duration storage works and how it can help us store excess energy for days, weeks, or even months. She also covers how this technology can lower costs and keep power flowing when things like storms knock out the grid.

We also discuss the role of regulations, how long-duration storage can improve grid stability, and why it's such a game-changer for communities and businesses. Julia shares her insights into what’s happening now, both in the U.S. and globally, and what the future of energy storage might look like.
