NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) selected 950 megawatts of lithium-battery storage and 700 megawatts of renewables.

Utility Dive reports that NYSERDA selected 950 megawatts of lithium-battery storage and 700 megawatts of renewable generation. These are two different resource categories and should not be described as a single block of generating capacity.

The selections came through New York’s first bulk energy-storage procurement and its 2025 Tier 1 Renewable Energy Standard solicitation. The renewable-generation category includes solar, wind and hydroelectric resources.

The supplied excerpt establishes procurement selection, not commercial operation or completed construction. It gives battery power capacity in megawatts but does not provide storage duration, energy capacity in megawatt-hours, project-level allocations or any direct connection to data-center customers.
