National Fire Protection Association releases NFPA 855 ESS
NFPA 855: Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems (ESS), produced in updated form on a three-year cycle, provides minimum installation
The Roadmap proposed a comprehensive set of recommendations to expand New York's energy storage programs to cost-effectively unlock the rapid growth of renewable energy across the State and bolster grid reliability and customer resilience.
New York State aims to reach 1,500 MW of energy storage by 2025 and 6,000 MW by 2030. Energy storage is essential for creating a cleaner, more efficient, and resilient electric grid. Additionally, these projects will provide meaningful benefits to Disadvantaged Communities and Low-to-Moderate Income New Yorkers.
Its primary purpose is to capture energy during periods of low demand and low cost and deliver it during times of high demand and high cost. In some cases, the production of renewable energy does not match up to period of high demand, high cost. ESS can store and shift the use of the renewable energy to such times.
Nonetheless, energy storage accounts for only about 2% of total U.S. energy capacity.36 FOTM systems have driven the bulk of this growth in installed ESS capacity. Under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) passed in 2019, New York State (the State) established an ambitious goal for energy storage of 3 gigawatts by 2030.
