An established belief -- how electricity markets are structured today and their shortcomings -- have become center stage in key policy and regulatory arenas in virtually all 50 states.

As battery prices drop and wholesale market changes take shape, is it energy storage's time to disrupt an entire market? We will ask our panelists whether we have hit an inflection point for energy storage participation in wholesale markets, and if not, is the tipping point on the horizon?
