This project is one of the first of its kind to be completed and receive full approval under New York City’s new permitting process, which has been updated to facilitate the implementation of energy storage technologies.

The Catalyze project will benefit from incentives provided by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. This support will allow electricity to be supplied to the local power grid through the Value of Distributed Energy Resources(VDER) agreement.

At startup, the system is actively contributing to the energy supply. energy supply during seasonal peak demand, using 4 Tesla MegaPacks with a total capacity of 4.29 MW / 8.58 MWh.
