This will help facilitate market qualification and participation f or energy storage as well as enable an efficient and effective connection. The roadmap will also help the AESO in monitoring and control of energy s torage facilities when connected to the electricity grid.\nAs part of the Energy Storage Roadmap\, the AESO has identified a number of activities ne eded to integrate Energy Storage in the shorter and longer term. This pres entation will provide an update on the different activities being undertak en along with timelines.\n\n"Fine Print"\n\n- The webinar is free for acti ve IEEE members.\n- There is a $5 registration fee for people who are not active IEEE members.\n\n- The fee must be paid in advance through the regi stration process below (credit card through PayPal) in order to receive th e link to the webinar.\n- Upon successful payment of the fee\, you will re ceive 2 emails: one from noreply_vtools@ieee.org with title "IEEE vTools R eservation Confirmation\," and a second from service@intl.paypal.com with title "Your payment to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Enginee rs\, Inc."
