Energy storage is critical to New York’s clean energy future. As renewable power sources like wind and solar provide a larger portion of New York’s electricity, storage will allow clean energy to be available when and where it is most needed. The 2019 Climate Act set a statewide goal of 3,000 MW of Energy Storage by 2030, further increased to 6,000 MW of Energy Storage by 2030 by Governor Kathy Hochul.

This dataset tracks progress towards these statewide goals by compiling data on installed energy storage projects. Projects that received funding support from NYSERDA, as well as unincentivized projects, are included in this dataset

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help develop energy storage projects. Please see https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Energy-Storage-Program.

Energy storage is critical to New York’s clean energy future. As renewable power sources like wind and solar provide a larger portion of New York’s electricity, storage will allow clean energy to be available when and where it is most needed. NYSERDA’s retail and bulk storage incentive programs are directed at achieving New York’s 3,000 MW by 2030 energy storage goal and 1,500 MW by 2025 energy storage target, codified in the Climate Leadership and Community Preservation Act. In December 2018, the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) issued a landmark energy storage order establishing the 3,000 MW by 2030 goal and authorizing the incentive programs. Details on the incentive structure and design are available at https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/energystorage. Retail and Bulk Energy Storage Incentive Programs Reported by NYSERDA: Beginning 2019 dataset includes data points for projects completed and approved in the pipeline (not yet installed) in NYSERDA’s Incentive Programs beginning April 2019.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) hosts a web-based Distributed Energy Resources (DER) integrated data system at https://der.nyserda.ny.gov/. This site provides information on DERs that are funded by and report performance data to NYSERDA. Information is incorporated on more diverse DER technology as it becomes available. Distributed energy resources (DER) are technologies that generate or manage the demand of electricity at different points of the grid, such as at homes and businesses, instead of exclusively at power plants, and includes Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems, Anaerobic Digester Gas (ADG)-to-Electricity Systems, Fuel Cell Systems, Energy Storage Systems, and Large Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Electric Systems (larger than 50 kW). Historical databases with hourly readings for each system are updated each night to include data from the previous day. The web interface allows users to view, plot, analyze, and download performance data from one or several different DER sites. Energy storage systems include all operational systems in New York including projects not funded by NYSERDA. Only NYSERDA-funded energy storage systems will have performance data available. The database is intended to provide detailed, accurate performance data that can be used by potential users, developers, and other stakeholders to understand the real-world performance of these technologies. For NYSERDA’s performance-based programs, these data provide the basis for incentive payments to these sites.
