Governor Announces Funding for Solar Powered Storage Projects

October 16th, 2018

On Wednesday, Gov. Cuomo announced that the state will make $40 million available to support solar projects that integrate energy storage. This funding, which will be made available in early November, “will accelerate the deployment of at least 50 megawatts of energy storage paired with solar, and reduce barriers to deployment of this clean energy technology associated with customer acquisition, siting, and interconnection. “

Gov. Cuomo said:

“As we continue our aggressive pursuit of clean, renewable technologies, funding for projects like this will ensure New York remains at the forefront of the global fight against climate change. The strategic pairing of energy storage and solar technologies moves us closer to building a clean energy economy that protects critical natural resources and benefits all New Yorkers.”
