Both renewables and energy storage are considered key to achieving targets that include 70% renewable energy on the New York grid by 2030, and the deployment of 6GW of energy storage by that date. The targets are at the heart of the state''s Climate Protection and Community Leadership Act (CPCLA), which was initiated by Hochul''s predecessor Andrew
Alternatives include gravity-based energy storage technologies and advanced compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems, which are in the development, demonstration, and early commercialisation stages (De Carne et al., 2024, Zhang et al., 2024).
Sandbank said that mechanisms to encourage bulk energy storage development need to be feasible and ensure effective deployment of resources the grid can call on for the long-term.

Credit: David Pimborough / Shutterstock. The government of the UK has launched a new investment support scheme aimed at bolstering the country's energy storage infrastructure. The initiative aims to encourage the development of long-duration energy storage (LDES) facilities, which have not seen significant investment in nearly four decades.
We're consulting on the policy framework to enable investment in long duration electricity storage. Long duration electricity storage can provide an important contribution to decarbonising our energy system. For example, it can store renewable power and discharge it during periods of low wind.
Long-duration energy storage technologies store excess power for long periods to even out the supply. In March 2024, the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee said increasing the UK's long-duration energy storage capacity would support the UK's net zero plans and energy security.
Other technologies, such as liquid air energy storage, compressed air energy storage and flow batteries, could also benefit from the scheme. Studies suggest that deploying 20GW of LDES could save the electricity system £24bn between 2025 and 2050, potentially reducing household energy bills as reliance on costly natural gas decreases.
However, new energy storage technologies can store excess energy to be used at a later point, so the energy can be used rather than wasted – meaning we can rely even more on renewable generation rather than fossil fuels, helping boost the UK's long-term energy resilience.
