New York State’s Energy Storage Program

Transforming New York’s Electricity System for a Clean Energy Future

Energy storage has a pivotal role in delivering reliable and affordable power to New Yorkers as we increasingly switch to renewable energy sources and electrify our buildings and transportation systems. Integrating storage in the electric grid, especially in areas with high energy demand, will allow clean energy to be available when and where it is most needed. As New York continues to invest and build a cleaner grid, energy storage will allow us to use existing resources more efficiently and phase out the dirtiest power plants. This transition will help New York meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, improve public health, and mitigate the future impacts of climate change.

Types of Storage

  • Residential Storage: Primarily used for home resiliency to deliver back-up power, these systems can also shift energy consumption to off-peak hours and integrate home solar for a low-cost clean energy supply. Residential storage systems can be eligible for Inflation Reduction Act tax credits.
  • Commercial Storage: Businesses can install storage systems onsite or separate from building loads, like a community solar project. These systems can be paired with solar, provide back-up power, and earn compensation from utilities for delivering grid benefits.
  • Bulk Storage: These grid-connected storage projects enable increased integration of renewable energy sources while ensuring a resilient and reliable power supply when and where it’s needed most.
