Summit Ridge Energy, a solar and energy storage firm within the United States, has commissioned the primary two of its 4 energy storage techniques (ESS) in New York City: 15 MWh Arlington ESS and 15 MWh Littlefield ESS.
Both techniques function energy storage {hardware} and software program equipped by Qcells, a supplier of full energy options and long-term companion of Summit Ridge Energy. Located throughout Brooklyn and Staten Island, the initiatives will stabilize the grid and enhance resiliency as extra renewable energy sources are added to the power combine, together with offshore wind energy.
Once the remaining initiatives are energized within the coming months, Summit Ridge Energy’s 4 ESS will present 58 MWh of energy storage capability to New York’s electrical grid and cut back the necessity for diesel-powered peaker crops. The initiatives may even ship power to the grid during times of peak demand. Summit Ridge Energy financed, developed and constructed the initiatives, in partnership with Qcells, and serves because the long-term owner-operator.
NYU Langone Health partnered with Summit Ridge Energy to buy all the invoice credit from these first two initiatives as an revolutionary technique to help grid resiliency and the transition to cleaner energy for all New Yorkers. NYU Langone is demonstrating the essential position giant finish customers, reminiscent of hospitals, can play within the transfer in the direction of a low carbon future.
“We have been working closely with local governments and other stakeholders over the last several years to shape battery storage legislation in the city and are proud to see the first of these four projects come online,” says Brian Dunn, COO at Summit Ridge Energy. “We are happy to lead the charge in expanding storage in New York.”
