Summary

In December 2018, New York's Public Service Commission (PSC) issued an order adopting an energy storage deployment target of 3,000 MW by 2030, with an interim goal of 1,500 MW by 2025. This order followed recommendations from the Energy Storage Roadmap developed earlier in 2018.

Senate Bill 6599, enacted in July 2019, also requires the PSC to consider policy measures to achieve 3 MW of statewide energy storage capacity by 2030.

NYSERDA offers bulk and retail energy storage incentive programs to support attainment of the energy storage target.
