About CESA Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA) is a national nonprofit organization working to implement smart clean energy policies, programs, technology innovation, and financing tools, primarily at the state level. At its core, CESA is a national network of public agencies that are individually and collectively working to advance clean energy. www.cleanenergystates.org 3
About NEESC The Northeast Electrochemical Energy Storage Cluster (NEESC) is a network of industry, academic, government and non- governmental leaders working together to help businesses provide energy storage solutions. The cluster is based in New York, New Jersey, and the New England States. Its initial formation and development is funded through the US Small Business Administration’s Innovative Economies Initiative and administered by the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, Inc. (CCAT). The cluster is focused on businesses that provide the innovative development, production, promotion and deployment of hydrogen fuels and fuel cells to meet the pressing demand for energy storage solutions.
