The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is seeking expressions of interest (RFI) from companies that want to develop energy storage projects. Separately, another state agency, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) took its first step in a $400 million program that aims to grow an energy storage market in the state.
The RFI is designed to help NYPA gauge private sector interest and determine what energy storage opportunities to pursue. The RFI is open to energy storage developers, battery integrators, and others deploying lithium-ion batteries in utility scale applications.
The RFI can be accessed on the NYPA procurement webpage under the name Q19-6681MH Energy Storage Joint Opportunities. Responses are due by May 13.
On Thursday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the first $280 million of the $400 million now available to accelerate the growth of energy storage projects.
The funding opportunity is part of $400 million investment the state is making to achieve its goal of having 3,000 MW of energy storage in place by 2030.
The energy storage goal is part of Cuomo’s Green New Deal that aims to put New York State on a path to a carbon-neutral economy. “While the federal administration denies the devastating reality of climate change, New York continues to invest in its future by building a more efficient clean energy system,” Cuomo said in a statement.
