The Implementation Plan provides an operating framework for the program, with additional details to be provided in Bulk Energy Storage program solicitations. The plan begins with background on the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (the “Climate Act”) and the 2022 Energy Storage Roadmap (the “Roadmap”) as updated in March 2024.
The Bulk Energy Storage Program will use an innovative Index Storage Credit incentive, as established in the Order and modeled in part on the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) and Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Credit (OREC) utilized in other NYSERDA programs.
While the Roadmap and 2024 Energy Storage Order contemplated the treatment of a storage resource as being either available or unavailable on a given day, the 2025 BES Approving Order directs NYSERDA to further address how partial availability in terms of time and capacity will be addressed under the operational availability definition.
In addition, a bulk energy storage project that is expressly included in an awarded Tier 1 REC or OREC contract may nonetheless be eligible for the ISC program if the REC or OREC contract provides that, upon award of an ISC contract (or similar), the REC contract is adjusted accordingly.
