Summit Ridge Energy has announced three standalone energy storage projects in New York City in partnership with Qcells, a provider of complete energy solutions.
“The opportunity for energy storage in New York is significant –– not only will standalone storage support grid resilience as the state continues to transition to renewable energy, but it will also help reduce reliance on fossil fuel peaker plants and help to regulate grid frequency,” said Brian Dunn, COO at SRE.
The projects, located in Staten Island and Brooklyn, will produce approximately 12 megawatts (MW) and 46-megawatt hours (MWh) of energy capacity as part of New York State’s Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) program.
The projects are under construction and are expected to complete commissioning in early 2023, making SRE one of the largest operators of energy storage under the VDER program in New York City.
Qcells will supply energy storage hardware and energy managem
