Summary: New York currently has no operational compressed air energy storage (CAES) power stations, but several pilot projects and initiatives are paving the way for this technology.

Nonetheless, energy storage accounts for only about 2% of total U.S. energy capacity.36 FOTM systems have driven the bulk of this growth in installed ESS capacity. Under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) passed in 2019, New York State (the State) established an ambitious goal for energy storage of 3 gigawatts by 2030.
New York State aims to reach 1,500 MW of energy storage by 2025 and 6,000 MW by 2030. Energy storage is essential for creating a cleaner, more efficient, and resilient electric grid. Additionally, these projects will provide meaningful benefits to Disadvantaged Communities and Low-to-Moderate Income New Yorkers.
Energy storage helps everyday New Yorkers save money on electricity and keeps the power working when they need it most. This is especially true during “peak demand” events like hot summer days when electricity is most costly and we rely on air conditioning to stay safe and comfortable.
Additionally, while the most recent retail energy storage incentive available through the New York state is accounted for by projects currently in development, it is anticipated that a new lower block of incentives will be made available, specifically for ESS projects in NYC.
