<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">We haven’t had a webinar in awhile – the Monday time didn’t work as well for me, so I’m moving this back to Friday mornings – I hope that will work well for you! For this first one in 2022 John Flory will present
<span style="color:black">“Enhancing Wholesale Power Market Efficiency, Reliability and Transparency – the origins of CAISO and future directions”. This talk will not be directly focused on long-duration energy storage, but John was part of creating CAISO
in the first place and has insights into how CAISO will need to change in the coming years, so I think this will be a very interesting conversation.</span> So that you might have a better idea of what sorts of questions to ask, I’m attaching his bio – he has
had a wide range of experiences over the years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">As we progress through the spring, I expect we will be presenting more of our results. I look forward to connecting more regularly this spring.<o:p></o:p></p>
