Ever wondered how Pennsylvania's Lebanon Valley keeps the lights on during extreme weather? Meet the Lebanon Valley Electric Energy Storage Device – a $48 million lithium-ion battery system that's redefining grid reliability. This 20-megawatt beast can power 6,000 homes for 4 hours during outages. Energy storage is a smart and reliable technology that helps modernize New York's electric grid, helping to make the grid more flexible, efficient, and resilient. Integrating storage in the electric grid, especially in areas with high energy demand, will. The geniuses who are planning New York's energy future think that they can make intermittent wind and solar generators work to power the electrical grid by the simple device of providing some battery storage. These technologies are widely deployed. As part of our Clean Energy Commitment and in support of New York State's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act), we're dedicated to helping the state achieve its energy storage targets of 1,500 megawatts (MW) by 2025 and 6,000 MW by 2030.
