NY-BEST’s 10th Annual Capture the Energy Conference and Expo is going virtual! Join us on
August 4-6, 2020, to participate in the premier event for companies seeking opportunities in New York’s rapidly growing energy storage markets.
2020 marks the 10th Anniversary of the founding of NY-BEST. This year, NY-BEST Board Vice Chair M. Stanley Whittingham was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This year’s conference will also celebrate and honor these two great achievements.
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
Capture the Energy 2020 highlights industry leaders who are advancing energy storage globally and in New York State, where the State’s 3 GW energy storage goal has made it one of the fastest growing markets for energy storage in the world.
Our engaging virtual event will take place over three half-days (12:30 PM – 5:00 PM ET/ 9:30 AM – 2:00 PM PT) featuring daily live and on-demand sessions and will include:
• Updates and insights on New York’s energy storage and clean energy markets, including opportunities for future growth
• Dynamic keynote speakers, roundtable discussions and expert panels on how energy storage is advancing our clean energy goals and growing our economy
CONFERENCE FORMAT
The Conference agenda will include informative virtual keynotes, featured presentations, panels and roundtable discussions featuring experts in the storage field. Keynotes and featured presentations are typically 15-20 minutes. Panel sessions typically include 4-5 speakers presenting for approximately 10 minutes each. Roundtable discussions will include a moderated Q&A among 4-5 speakers.
Each session will have a Q&A with the audience after presentations have concluded. The Conference will also feature an online company exhibition area with over 30 companies and organizations.
All sessions will be recorded and available to paid attendees for one year.

Event Details
We are excited to share with you that Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced today another major step to advance the state’s nation-leading climate agenda with the issuance of the offshore wind and land-based solicitations. In support of this announcement, NYSERDA has launched a Request for Information (RFI) to engage with local communities across New York State to consider prospective sites for large-scale renewable energy project development. This opportunity marks an important next step in advancing “Build-Ready” projects under the State’s new siting law, helping to jumpstart New York’s economy. It also accelerates progress towards New York State’s goal of 70 percent of the State’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030.
Under this RFI, NYSERDA’s Build-Ready Program is proactively seeking nominations from elected officials, community members, private companies, or other interested parties for potential sites to consider as Build-Ready projects.
An informational webinar will be hosted by NYSERDA on August 4 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET to discuss the Build-Ready Program and this RFI. We hope you will join us.
