New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY-BEST) concludes,
. . . the largest city in the United States has a near-term opportunity to
. . . clean up its electric grid by replacing,
. . . older steam generation units,
. . . with batteries.

New York City electricity customers spend more than
. . . $268 million annually to secure capacity from older plants that run for just a few hours each year.
A 5% set-aside of that amount "could attract investment in more than
. . . 450 MW of new energy storage resources over the next
. . . 5 years with very little impact." the firm concluded.
Total price impact could be,
. . . less than 1% to customers.
