New York Power Authority: New Energy Storage demonstration Project
The New York Power Authority announced a collaboration with a leading-edge energy storage company to develop a demonstration energy storage system, using new zinc-air energy storage technology, in New York. The project, selected as a winner through the NYPA Innovation Challenge, will have the ability to provide back-up power, help level grid demand, and move the state further toward a carbon-free electric grid supported by renewable energy resources. The new technology storage system will work toward the achievement of Cuomo’s aggressive energy storage goal of 3GW by 2030, and by supporting a commitment of 100% electricity from zero carbon emission sources by 2040.
