New York Independent System Energy Storage

Why is energy storage important in New York?

The energy storage system will supply the New York wholesale energy and ancillary service markets and will contribute to more economical and reliable electric power in New York. Due to the intermittent nature of wind generation, the excess energy needs to be captured when the wind is blowing so it can be dispersed when there is no generation.

What is the northern New York energy storage project?

“The completion of the Northern New York Energy Storage project marks an important step to reaching New York's energy storage and climate goals." The project, located in Chateaugay, about 40 miles northwest of Plattsburgh, is the Power Authority’s first utility-scale battery project and the first one built by New York State.

Can energy storage reduce New York's climate goals?

Emerging long-duration and multi-day energy storage technologies can lower the annualized system costs of achieving New York’s 2030 climate goals by 6 percent ($0.4 billion/year) compared to scenarios in which lithium-ion batteries are the only available storage technology.

What is New York's energy storage roadmap?

The roadmap is a comprehensive set of recommendations to expand New York's energy storage programs to cost-effectively unlock the rapid growth of renewable energy across the state and bolster grid reliability and customer resilience.

Where is New York's first state-owned battery energy storage project located?

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that New York’s first state-owned utility-scale battery energy storage project is now operating in the North Country’s Franklin County.

Can long-duration energy storage help New York achieve a zero-carbon grid?

This analysis supplements prior studies and evaluates the extent to which diverse types of emerging long-duration energy storage (LDES) and multi-day energy storage (MDS) technologies could serve as DEFRs and help New York achieve a reliable, affordable, zero-carbon grid.
