Description
NYSERDA’s Retail Energy Storage Incentive Program offers a single up-front payment at a fixed incentive amount per kilowatt hour (kWh) of usable energy storage for projects up to 5 megawatts (MW).
Eligibility
Small businesses, as well as large commercial and industrial businesses, that pay into the System Benefits Charge are eligible. Demand metered customers installing standalone storage or adding storage to a completed solar project are also eligible.
How the Program Works
Incentives for all retail storage projects are provided through a network of participating contractors approved under the Energy Storage program. To get started, interested participants should select a participating contractor to inspect the location, determine the best size system, technology and siting options. The participating contractor will also submit all paperwork to NYSERDA on the participant’s behalf.
Available incentives vary throughout the State. NYSERDA’s Incentive Dashboard provides the applicable incentive amounts by region.
How to Apply
Select a participating contractor from the NYSERDA-approved list of participating contractors and schedule a site inspection.
