Under New York’s 2018 Energy Storage Order, utilities have a goal of deploying 3,000 MW of storage by 2030. However, most of the state’s utilities fell off pace to meet an interim goal of deploying a combined 350 MW of storage by 2022, which the state has now extended through 2025 to allow for more negotiation and understanding of how storage would work.
National Grid, which was on pace to meet its 2022 target of deploying 10 MW, will operate the project as part of a demonstration for the dual participation model. Under the agreement, National Grid must share lessons learned through a stakeholder information session and annual reports on the project, with the first due by the end of 2022.
