The Energy Storage Association (ESA) honored Renewable Energy Systems (RES) and Lon Huber, Strategen vice president, at the 28th Annual Energy Storage Conference for their efforts in advancing the energy storage industry.
Huber was chosen as this year’s recipient of the Phil Symons Energy Storage Award, which recognizes an individual who has had the biggest impact in shaping the future of the industry, following an annual survey to ESA members and past award recipients. Outgoing ESA Board Chair Praveen Kathpal credited him as being instrumental in opening up markets for the industry throughout the United States and educating stakeholders along the way.
“I am honored to receive the Phil Symons Award and extend my gratitude to ESA for the recognition,” Huber said. “The Strategen market-based approach in designing policies that benefit consumers and ratepayers has demonstrated that these policies also can successfully advance industry and environmental sustainability; and importantly, advance the broad role energy storage plays in modernizing our grid.”
Global renewable energy company RES received the Brad Roberts Outstanding Industry Achievement by a Member Organization Award. RES contributions included receiving a world first non-recourse debt financing of an energy storage project and close permitting work with the New York Fire Department for a megawatt scale lithium-ion storage system in New York City.
“We are very excited to be the recipient of the Brad Roberts Award, and honored to follow in the footsteps of many prestigious companies in helping to grow the industry,” Craig Horne, vice president of Business Development, Energy Storage and the incoming ESA Board Chair, said. “RES is a leader in the storage industry with a portfolio comprised of 250 megawatts and almost 300 megawatt-hours spanning 19 projects, nine different electricity markets, and four countries. We strive toward realizing achievements that will help improve the commercial viability of all subsequent storage projects, and look forward to working hand-in-hand with the Energy Storage Association to continuing opening up markets nationwide.”
