A man wearing glasses, a maroon turtleneck, and a dark green cardigan is speaking on camera. Next to him, a slide titled "Overview" is displayed, outlining four sessions: Why neighbourhood batteries? - Context, rationale, limitations, and alternatives. Operating a BESS: - Components, use cases, and operating models. Project implementation: - Network connection, site selection, communications, and stakeholder engagement. Project development: - Feasibility assessment, project cost centres, and project activities. A potted plant is visible in the background, and the overall setting is professional and informative.

A group of people are gathered outdoors around a neighbourhood battery with mural art, which includes images of a bird, flowers, and a person riding a bicycle. One person is speaking to the group while others listen attentively. Trees and residential buildings are visible in the background.
