Blue-Sky Training Program for Grid Scale Energy Storage Systems

From US Department of Energy (DOE)

The Blue-Sky Training Program (BSTP) aims to enhance community safety for utilities with ESS. 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 ESS will operate safely and reliably. This program will bring together stakeholders to participate in planning exercises and boots-on-the-ground drills that will outline roles and responsibilities to ensure the safety of the hosting community, personnel, and infrastructure.
