Renewable power such as wind, solar farms and battery storage are becoming an increasing part of our electric grid and a common site across the country. How does this technology work and what are the key components that come together to produce clean electricity? Join Burns & McDonnell, an engineering + construction firm, for an insightful presentation about how these systems work, the latest developments, and what we should expect to see in the next generation of renewable energy projects that promise to get us to a NetZero grid.
