BILL NUMBER: S7318
An act to amend the public service law and the public authorities law,
in relation to establishing the energy storage deployment policy
To promote the installation of qualified energy storage systems through
the energy storage deployment program.
This chapter amendment adds that by December 31, 2018, the commission
shall establish rules and regulations a 2030 energy storage goal for the
state and a deployment policy for such goal. This amendment also further
defines what shall be included in the energy storage deployment policy.
timing mismatch between energy supply and demand. In fact, by absorbing
and storing energy resources, storage systems are able to reduce demand
for peak hours, boosting the resilience and reliability of the electric
grid. This way, renewable energy can be available continuously, result-
ing in a reduced need for baseload generation.  This legislation defines
qualified energy storage systems, and provides a regulatory framework
for the PSC to start the energy storage deployment program. This will
encourage the installation of such systems throughout New York State,
leading to a more efficient and sustainable use of renewable energy

Section 1. Section 74 of the public service law, as added by a chapter
of the laws of 2017 amending the  public  service  law  and  the  public
authorities  law  relating to establishing the energy storage deployment
program, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 5190 and  A.  6571,
§  74. Energy storage deployment [program] POLICY. 1. [(a)] As used in
this section "qualified energy storage system" shall  mean  commercially
available technology that is capable of absorbing energy, storing it for
a  period  of  time, and thereafter dispatching the energy[. A qualified
energy storage system shall be  cost-effective  and  either  assist  the
integration of variable energy resources, reduce emissions of greenhouse
for  an  investment in generation, transmission, or distribution assets,
or improve the reliable operation  of  the  electrical  transmission  or
(b)  A  qualified  energy  storage  system shall do one or more of the
following: (i) use] USING mechanical, chemical, or thermal processes  to
store  energy  that  was generated at one time for use at a later time[;
(ii) store thermal energy for direct use for heating  or  cooling  at  a
later  time  in a manner that avoids the need to use electricity at that
later time; (iii) use mechanical,  chemical,  or  thermal  processes  to
store energy generated from renewable resources for use at a later time;
or  (iv)  use mechanical, chemical, or thermal processes to store energy
delivery at a later time].
2.  [Within  ninety  days  of  the effective date of this section, the

research and development authority and the Long Island  power  authority
in the preparation of such determination.] BY DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO
THOUSAND  EIGHTEEN,  THE  COMMISSION SHALL, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE NEW
YORK STATE ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY AND THE LONG ISLAND
POWER AUTHORITY, AFTER A HEARING HELD ON  NOTICE,  ESTABLISH  BY  ORDER,
RULES  AND  REGULATIONS,  BOTH A TWO THOUSAND THIRTY ENERGY STORAGE GOAL
FOR THE STATE AND A DEPLOYMENT POLICY TO SUPPORT THAT GOAL. The  [deter-
mination] ENERGY STORAGE DEPLOYMENT POLICY shall include the following:
(a)  [The  creation  of  the  energy  storage deployment program to be
administered by the New  York  state  energy  research  and  development
authority and the Long Island power authority;
year  commencing with calendar year two thousand eighteen and continuing
(1)] avoided or deferred costs associated with transmission,  distrib-
ution, [and/or] OR GENERATION capacity;
[(2)] (B) minimization of peak load in constrained areas; [and
(3)] (C) systems that are connected to customer facilities and systems
that are directly connected to transmission and distribution facilities;
(d) COST-EFFECTIVENESS;
(E) ASSISTING THE INTEGRATION OF VARIABLE-OUTPUT ENERGY RESOURCES;
(F) REDUCING EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES;
(G) REDUCING DEMAND FOR PEAK ELECTRICAL GENERATION; AND
(H) IMPROVING THE RELIABLE OPERATION OF THE ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION OR
(I)  Annual  reports  on  the  achievements  and  effectiveness of the
[program] POLICY to be submitted to the governor, the  temporary  presi-
dent of the senate, and the speaker of the assembly; and
[(e)] (J) Such other issues deemed appropriate by the commission.
§  2.  Section  1020-ii  of  the public authorities law, as added by a
chapter of the laws of 2017 amending the  public  service  law  and  the

deployment program, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 5190 and
A. 6571, is amended to read as follows:
§ 1020-ii. Energy storage deployment [program] POLICY.  The  authority
shall  encourage the installation of qualified energy storage systems in
its service territory  through  implementation  of  the  energy  storage
deployment  [program]  POLICY as set forth and defined in section seven-
ty-four of the public service law.
