The New York State Legislature has sent to Gov. Andrew Cuomo companion bills that would lead to the development of an energy storage procurement target for the state.
The bills would direct the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) to set proceedings to establish an energy storage deployment program, and, by Jan. 1, 2018, establish a target for the installation of qualified energy storage systems to be achieved by 2030, according to the companion bills. The PSC also would establish programs to help the state achieve that target.
