New York State Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook
The Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook contains information, tools, and step-by-step instructions to support local governments managing battery energy storage
A public benefit corporation, NYSERDA has been advancing energy solutions and working to protect the environment since 1975. The Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook contains information, tools, and step-by-step instructions to support local governments managing battery energy storage system development in their communities.
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.
Updates and resources can be found on the Working Group's webpage. You can download NYSERDA's New York City [PDF] factsheet to learn more about energy storage regulations in New York City. The Trainings for Local Governments page offers additional resources including recordings and materials from NYSERDA's battery energy storage system trainings.
Siting these systems can be difficult because of the terrain needed (an upper and lower pool of water) and large footprint. Compressed air, superconducting magnets, underground pumped storage, and hydrogen storage are all forms of emerging energy storage that are in different stages of development.
