Catalyze announced the launch of its first standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in the Bronx, New York. This is one of the first megawatt-scale BESS projects to be completed and fully approved through New York City’s updated battery energy storage permitting process.
The project will leverage incentives from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to deliver electricity to the grid under the Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) stack arrangement. The project is already operational and currently transmitting electricity to the grid to meet increased seasonal peaks in demand. The project includes four Tesla MegaPacks, with a total size of 4.29 MW / 8.58 MWh. The timeline from construction to operation was completed in a record time of 171 working days.
“This project represents Catalyze’s commitment to innovation, further expanding our expertise in BESS technology,” said Jared Haines, CEO of Catalyze. “New York will need a host of sustainable energy solutions to meet its ambitious climate goals, and we are proud to continue working with local officials to roll out sustainable energy projects across the state.”
