New York has an ambitious goal to add 6,000 megawatts of energy storage by 2030, half of it large-scale systems. Opposition to the storage systems usually focuses on the possibility of thermal runaway, a chain reaction of uncontrolled heating that can lead to fire or an explosion.
The 2024 Energy Storage Order established a statewide goal of deploying 3,000 MW of new bulk energy storage by 2030 and required that NYSERDA submit a draft Implementation Plan that outlines the methods and budget that could be used to achieve the bulk energy storage deployment target.
As the global energy transition accelerates, the need for reliable, scalable and cost-effective energy storage solutions has never been greater.
Stationary energy storage technologies broadly fall into three categories: electro-chemical storage, namely batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen storage; electro-mechanical storage, such as compressed air storage, flywheel storage and gravitational storage; and thermal storage, including sensible, latent and thermochemical storage.
