"Sodium-ion batteries can play an important role in society's need for inexpensive energy storage. Foundational research in the area of new #materials discovery, advanced manufacturing, and characterization is critical to the development and deployment of competitive sodium-ion battery technology. Berkeley Lab is proud to be part of this consortium." — Gerd Ceder, Faculty Senior Scientist, Materials Sciences Division Energy Technologies Area at Berkeley Lab Argonne National Laboratory

FERC Order 1920 sets requirements on planning and cost allocation for new transmission. State officials can learn about 1920 at a free educational session offered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), NARUC, NASEO - National Association of State Energy Officials, and national labs on 12/6 at noon ET.
