Jul. 10, 2018 | The plan supports Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's energy storage target of 1,500 MW by 2025, but several sources say the final plan could call for an even more ambitious target. Reaching that target, though, could involve challenges that are largely outside of the scope of New York energy agencies.

Jul. 03, 2018 | New York’s electric grid will have enough juice to meet the summer demand, according to the independent nonprofit that manages the power grid.

Jun. 28, 2018 | NYISO stakeholders on Tuesday again backed joint proposals by North America Transmission (NAT) and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) to build two 345-kV transmission projects that could cost $900 million to $1.1 billion.
