ArcLight Capital Partners and Elevate Renewables on May 29 announced a battery storage infrastructure project at the Arthur Kill Power Station in Staten Island, N.Y.
The 15 MW/60 MWh distribution-level project will help provide more renewable power by replacing existing generation planned to retire in 2025.
Elevate is a wholly owned subsidiary of a fund managed by ArcLight.
Once completed, the project will be the largest battery storage installation in New York City.
"The Arthur Kill re-development project will install the latest energy storage technology on the site of a former power generation plant. This project is illustrative of Elevate's battery expertise, significant development pipeline, and ability to help enable strategic battery storage infrastructure to help meet New York State's energy storage target of 6 GWs by 2030," said Eric Cherniss, Head of Development at Elevate Renewables, in a news release.
Elevate Renewables has completed contracting to construct a state-of-the-art battery storage facility to store power during non-peak hours and discharge power during peak demand periods, as well as to provide ancillary services that help maintain grid stability and resiliency.
