Can energy storage solutions deliver more reliable electricity to New York communities?
NYSERDA President and CEO Doreen M. Harris said, “The possibilities created by innovative energy storage solutions can safely deliver more reliable electricity to New York communities as part of building an affordable and resilient zero-emission future.
How will energy storage impact New York?
Storage will increase the resilience and efficiency of New York's grid, which will be 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040. Additionally, energy storage can stabilize supply during peak electric usage and help keep critical systems online during an outage. All of this while creating an industry that could employ at least 30,000 New Yorkers by 2030.
Are energy storage projects safe in New York State?
New York State has some of the most rigorous safety standards for energy storage projects in the country, reinforced by independent nationally recognized experts to ensure full compliance.
What is long duration energy storage?
NY-BEST Executive Director Dr. William Acker said, “Long Duration Energy Storage and other innovative energy storage technologies will provide critical services to the electrical grid supporting reliability, infrastructure efficiency reducing cost, and enabling our clean energy goals.
