4 FAQs about [Distributed Energy Storage Subsidies]

What is distributed energy storage?

The introduction of distributed energy storage represents a fundamental change for power networks, increasing the network control problem dimensionality and adding long time-scale dynamics associated with the storage systems’ state of charge levels.

How will energy storage affect New York's energy grid?

In June 2024, New York’s Public Service Commission expanded the goal to 6,000 MW by 2030. Storage will increase the resilience and efficiency of New York’s grid, which will be 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040. Additionally, energy storage can stabilize supply during peak electric usage and help keep critical systems online during an outage.

Should energy storage be included in the electric grid?

Integrating storage in the electric grid, especially in areas with high energy demand, will allow clean energy to be available when and where it is most needed. As New York continues to invest and build a cleaner grid, energy storage will allow us to use existing resources more efficiently and phase out the dirtiest power plants.

Are storage systems eligible for tax credits?

Residential storage systems can be eligible for Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. Commercial storage: Businesses can install storage systems onsite or separate from building loads, like a community solar project. These systems can be paired with solar, provide back-up power, and earn compensation from utilities for delivering grid benefits.
