New Federal Funding for Energy Storage: What’s Available and How to Qualify
The US Department of Energy has several new, large funding budgets for energy storage projects, research and development. Within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, there is $500 million for long duration energy storage prototypes, pilot projects and market creation. There are also other large funds for which energy storage projects may qualify: for example, the newly created Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations has $1 billion for large-scale demonstration projects.
This webinar, on Tuesday, August 9 at 1pm will feature speakers from the national laboratories and US DOE, who will explain how and when these federal dollars will become available, who can qualify, and how to apply.
Panelists:
Dr. Imre Gyuk, US Department of Energy
Ben Shrager, US Department of Energy
Katrina Pielli, US Department of Energy
Russ Weed, CleanTech Strategies LLC
Dan Borneo, Sandia National Laboratories

Event Details
Kicked off on Earth Day 2022, this is the second in a series of events hosted by The Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce, Columbia Climate School, and The City College of New York exploring the reality of how the growing risks of rising heat, more intense storms, and a history of environmental injustice continue to generate disproportionate climate impacts in communities like Harlem as well as the community leadership working to overcome this history.
What is government doing to address these risks and get at the root causes of our climate crisis? How can community organizations and residents partner with local businesses, academic organizations, and government to cause real change in policy and outcomes?
Hear from local researchers, elected officials, and community leaders on the challenges and the opportunities to empower communities to lead the way into a cleaner, safer, and healthier future.
Participants include:
- Cordell Cleare, New York State Senator, 30th Senate District
- Peggy Shepard, Co-founder and Executive Director, WE ACT for Environmental Justice
- Daniel Zarrilli, Special Advisor, Climate & Sustainability, Columbia University
- Courtney Cogburn, Associate Professor, Columbia University School of Social Work
- Emily Maxwell, New York Division Cities Director, The Nature Conservancy
- additional participants to be announced soon
Please note that security at the State Office Building requires that all attendees provide a photo ID on entry. To comply with Columbia University’s health and safety policy, all attendees at in-person events must also be prepared to provide proof of primary COVID-19 vaccination.

Event Details
More than 4.4 million people in urban areas in the United States live within one mile of a peaker power plant and are unnecessarily and directly exposed to air pollutants that cause significant health problems and increased morbidity, according to “The Peaker Problem: An Overview of Peaker Power Plant Facts and Impacts in Boston, Philadelphia, and Detroit” . This report, released by Clean Energy Group with the consulting firm Strategen, examines the environmental justice and public health impacts of peaker power plants in these three U.S. cities. According to the new analysis, 32 million Americans live within three miles of a peaker power plant. Peakers are some of the dirtiest, least efficient, and most expensive energy sources, and most of them are located in low-income communities, environmental justice communities, and communities of color. Long-term exposure to peaker emissions, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), can cause asthma, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, chronic kidney disease, diminished fertility, miscarriages, and other adverse health conditions.
In this Clean Energy Group webinar, report authors will discuss their findings. Panelists:
• Shelley Robbins, Clean Energy Group
• Marriele Mango, Clean Energy Group
• Erin Childs, Strategen
• Eliasid Animas, Strategen
• Seth Mullendore, Clean Energy Group (moderator)
