The Energy Storage Roadmap, developed by DPS and NYSERDA, with substantial input from stakeholders, was released on June 21, 2018, and set forth recommendations to build a sustainable, market-driven energy storage sector reflecting the principles underpinning the PSC's Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) initiative:
Energy storage technologies and systems are regulated at the federal, state, and local levels, and must undergo rigorous safety testing to be authorized for installation in New York. You can download NYSERDA's New York State and New York City factsheets to learn more about energy storage regulations and safety in your community.
This law directed the PSC to establish a statewide energy storage goal for 2030 and an associated deployment policy.
Storage will increase the resilience and efficiency of New York's grid, which will be powered by 70% renewable energy by 2030, and 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.
