        AN  ACT  to amend the public service law and the public authorities law,
          in relation to establishing the energy storage deployment program

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  The public service law is amended by adding a new section
     2  74 to read as follows:
     3    § 74. Energy storage deployment  program.  1.  (a)  As  used  in  this
     4  section "qualified energy storage system" shall mean commercially avail-
     5  able  technology  that  is capable of absorbing energy, storing it for a
     6  period of time, and thereafter dispatching the energy. A qualified ener-
     7  gy storage system shall be cost-effective and either  assist  the  inte-
     8  gration  of  variable  energy  resources, reduce emissions of greenhouse
     9  gases, reduce demand for peak electrical generation, defer or substitute
    10  for an investment in generation, transmission, or  distribution  assets,
    11  or  improve  the  reliable  operation  of the electrical transmission or
    12  distribution grid.
    13    (b) A qualified energy storage system shall do  one  or  more  of  the
    14  following:  (i)  use mechanical, chemical, or thermal processes to store
    15  energy that was generated at one time for use  at  a  later  time;  (ii)
    16  store  thermal  energy  for direct use for heating or cooling at a later
    17  time in a manner that avoids the need to use electricity at  that  later
    18  time;  (iii)  use  mechanical,  chemical,  or thermal processes to store
    19  energy generated from renewable resources for use at a  later  time;  or
    20  (iv)  use  mechanical,  chemical,  or  thermal processes to store energy
    21  generated from mechanical processes that would otherwise be  wasted  for
    22  delivery at a later time.
    23    2.  Within  ninety  days  of  the  effective date of this section, the
    24  commission shall commence a proceeding to establish the  energy  storage

     1  deployment  program  to  encourage  the installation of qualified energy
     2  storage systems. No later than January first, two thousand eighteen, the
     3  commission shall make a determination  establishing  a  target  for  the
     4  installation  of qualified energy storage systems to be achieved through
     5  two thousand thirty and programs that will enable the state to meet such
     6  target. The commission shall consult with  the  New  York  state  energy
     7  research  and  development authority and the Long Island power authority
     8  in the  preparation  of  such  determination.  The  determination  shall
     9  include the following:
    10    (a) The creation of the energy storage deployment program to be admin-
    11  istered  by the New York state energy research and development authority
    12  and the Long Island power authority;
    13    (b) Estimated annual expenditures associated with the program for each
    14  year commencing with calendar year two thousand eighteen and  continuing
    15  through calendar year two thousand thirty;
    16    (c) Program designs that take the following into consideration:
    17    (1)  avoided  or deferred costs associated with transmission, distrib-
    18  ution, and/or capacity;
    19    (2) minimization of peak load in constrained areas; and
    20    (3) systems that are connected to customer facilities and systems that
    21  are directly connected to transmission and distribution facilities;
    22    (d) Annual reports  on  the  achievements  and  effectiveness  of  the
    23  program  to be submitted to the governor, the temporary president of the
    24  senate, and the speaker of the assembly; and
    25    (e) Such other issues deemed appropriate by the commission.
    26    § 2. Sections 1020-ii, 1020-jj and 1020-kk of the  public  authorities

    32  service territory through implementation of the energy  storage  deploy-
    33  ment  program  as  set  forth and defined in section seventy-four of the
    34  public service law.
    35    § 3. Subdivision 1 of section 1020-s of the public authorities law, as
