<div class="x_MsoNormal">Hi, Sarah!</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal">Long time, no see. I hope that you’ve been weathering the pandemic reasonably well. My wife and I have now been vaccinated so we were able to hug our daughter yesterday for the first time in over a year.
</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal">I just recently became aware of the <a href="https://news.ucmerced.edu/news/2020/new-project-shining-light-energy-storage" class="">
subject project</a> that you started last summer for the CEC. It turns out that Fred Morse, Dave Kearney, and I with some help from Luis Crespo were also thinking about California’s need for long-term energy storage. We felt that the relative lack of attention
that has been given to CSP’s thermal energy storage as a component in meeting that need is likely an impediment to finding an optimum solution. We came up with the attached presentation to highlight the existing global experience with CSP+TES in hopes of
making the subject more visible to California’s grid planners. I hope that you will find it of some use to your study as well. We’d be happy to discuss this with your team if you’d like.</div>
