Strategic Guide to Deploying Energy Storage in NYC
Energy storage is transforming the energy sector through its ability to support renewable energy and reduce grid reliance on carbon-intensive resources.
Energy storage is essential for creating a cleaner, more efficient, and resilient electric grid. Additionally, these projects will provide meaningful benefits to Disadvantaged Communities and Low-to-Moderate Income New Yorkers. Energy storage is essential to a resilient grid and clean energy system.
Energy storage systems capture and hold energy for later use by shifting when and how electricity supply and demand are balanced. They're charged using electricity from the power grid during periods of low demand or extra capacity.
Most electrical ESS can store energy for long periods but can only discharge at their full capacity for very short durations (i.e., seconds or minutes). These storage systems are in an early phase of development and have seen limited deployment in the power sector due to their short discharge duration and high cost.12
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.
