Energy storage symposium kicks off Wednesday

Registration is still open for an upcoming energy storage symposium, and Mississippi State officials are encouraging a variety of participants to register.

Organizers of the major Wednesday [Aug. 12] and Thursday [Aug. 13] event hope to draw other academic researchers and energy industry leaders, along with many others who might play a role in the positive impact of future energy-storage technologies. The symposium is titled, "Challenges and Opportunities for Advances in Grid-Tied Energy Storage in the Southeast."

Ï㽶ֱ²¥leaders say the university is positioned to help shape the future of energy storage in the Southeast region, and the symposium at the new Mill at Ï㽶ֱ²¥Conference Center on Russell Street in Starkville will help frame the conversation for what the region's future holds.

Recently-elected U.S. Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss., will deliver the keynote address.
