The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) released Wednesday a Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook to help permitting authorities and companies navigate the siting and review processes for battery energy storage projects.
The guide book will outline laws relating to battery energy storage systems, required permit, and a checklist for field inspections of residential and small commercial battery energy storage systems.
“Under Governor Cuomo’s nation-leading commitment to deploying 3,000 MW of energy storage by 2030, New York is rapidly becoming one of the leading markets for energy storage development in the U.S., and this new Guidebook will be a critical tool for local governments, developers, and customers who seek to adopt energy storage solutions,” Alicia Barton, president and CEO, NYSERDA, said. “Energy storage is a key resource in our ability to build the 100% clean electricity system of the future, and NYSERDA is committed to providing hands-on resources to communities all across New York as we build a cleaner, more cost-effective and more resilient energy system for the long term.”
This resource is the first comprehensive set of guidelines for reviewing and evaluating battery energy storage systems in the state. This, among other resources, will create a comprehensive process to safely permit all types of battery energy storage systems.
NYSERDA offers continuing free technical assistance to local governments help implement the resources outlined in the Guidebook. For additional information and guidance, local officials can contact the siting team at NYSERDA by emailing cleanenergyhelp@nyserda.ny.gov.
