Long Duration Energy Storage Technology and Product Development

Description of goods to services to be bid:

NYSERDA seeks to stimulate and grow long duration energy storage solutions in electrical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal to electric energy storage innovation portfolios in NY State. Despite advances in these storage technologies, and ever-increasing numbers of deployments, several technological optimization opportunities still exist including initial pilots and demonstrations, hardware cost reductions, enhanced system performance (efficiency, life cycle and thermal stability), and demonstration of effective integration with the grid. Improving and optimizing these areas will accelerate growth of long duration electrical energy storage deployments. Eligible long duration storage solutions must enable the capture of electrical or thermal energy (from the grid, thermal generation project site, or directly from renewables) store that energy, and then return electricity back to the grid, or to a project site. 

If changes are made to this solicitation notification will be posted on NYSERDA’s website at:

Eligibility/Qualifications Requirements/Preferences:

This solicitation is focused on advancing, developing and field testing those electric, chemical, mechanical and thermal to electric storage technologies that will address cost, performance, and integration challenges in NY State. Only innovative long duration energy storage technologies which are yet to be commercialized will be considered in this PON. Long Duration Energy Storage Solutions (10+ hours duration or greater) of interest for PON 5779 include Electrochemical, Mechanical, and Thermal storage technologies.
