It’s the first utility-owned battery site in the state storing enough solar and wind energy to power 800 homes and businesses.

What You Need To Know:
The new batteries should store enough green energy to power 16,000 customers for several hours, or the World Trade Center for a day
New York state wants 30 facilities in the next decade like the one planned because they are necessary for renewable energy use, which by their nature are not dependable
Solar panels and wind farms only generate electricity when it’s sunny or windy
Con Edison selected 174 Power Global to build the new energy storage facility
"The companies have a seven-year contract under which Con Edison will bid power from the battery into the state’s wholesale market. At the end of the contract, 174 Power Global will dispatch the power into the state’s bulk power transmission system," explained Con Edison
