New York City turns retired power station into something
Plans were announced to transform the site of the old Arthur Kill Power Station on Staten Island into the city''s largest battery storage facility. When complete, the 60-megawatt
The facility will serve as a large-scale battery energy storage system capable of charging from, and discharging into, the New York power grid. When fully functional, the 100MW battery energy storage project will be able to discharge electricity to the grid particularly during peak demand.
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.
In June 2024, New York's Public Service Commission expanded the goal to 6,000 MW by 2030. 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.
Elevate Renewables is developing a utility-scale energy storage facility at the Essex Generating Station located 5 miles from New York City in Newark, New Jersey. Elevate Renewables is developing a utility-scale energy storage facility at the Sewaren Generating Station located less than 1 mile from New York City near Woodbridge, NJ.
