Blue-Sky Training Program for Grid Scale Energy Storage Systems: Blue-Sky Training Program for Grid Scale Energy Storage Systems aims to enhance community safety for utilities with Energy Storage Systems. As storage technologies continue to be deployed, it is critical that communities are storage ready and that necessary stakeholders are brought to the table to ensure a new or existing Energy Storage Systems will operate safely and reliably. In localities across the country, uncertainty over proper response procedures to security threats and unanticipated failures of Energy Storage Systems can delay or even prevent deployment.
