The New York Public Service Commission (PSC) has approved plans to guide the state to its 2030 energy storage policy target, including solicitations for large-scale battery storage.
Senators in Maine are considering legislation to accelerate energy storage development, including a focus on who is allowed to own resources placed on transmission and distribution grids.
Australia and New York are two very different places but both are likely to soon see their first government-backed tenders in which grid-scale energy storage can compete.
New York’s recently proposed programme to promote the deployment of energy storage has been well-designed to create a robust market in the state for everything from residential to large-scale.
