Join the Metro Denver chapter of CRES for their first Speaker Series event of the year with Charles Cipriani for a look at battery storage.
About this Event

Join our Metro Denver chapter for a battery-focused Speaker Series event to kick off the new year!

The clean energy transition is often framed as a technology race, but the real constraints are safety, cost, and suitability. In this talk, Charles Cipriani breaks down why lithium became the default despite its limitations, why most homeowners are priced out of energy storage, and why safer, non-flammable battery technologies are better suited for stationary energy storage than for vehicles. The session focuses on how these factors will ultimately shape the future of the grid.

Charles' presentation will cover:

  • The current state of residential and commercial energy storage
  • Why safety and affordability are the real adoption bottlenecks
  • Lithium vs. non-flammable storage for stationary applications
  • Real-world reliability and lifecycle considerations
  • What “safe, affordable, and reliable” means in practice

Join in person in Denver at Odell Brewing Five Points Brewhouse (2945 Larimer Street, Denver, CO 80205).

Arrive at 6:30 PM for networking and refreshments. The main presentation will start promptly at 7 PM.
