The board of trustees for New York Power Authority (NYPA) last week gave the greenlight for the public power organisation to develop an additional 1.2GW of storage as part of its renewed Strategic Plan for New Renewable Energy Generation. 

Utility New York Power Authority (NYPA) is seeking to collaborate with renewable energy and energy storage developers and operators, as part of the state’s push to deploy more clean energy resources.

Battery storage has been cited among potential options for reducing the emissions and other environmental impacts created by 461MW of gas-fired peaker plants in New York State.
