Find Your State's Energy Storage Incentives
As highlighted in the images below, there are currently seven states with energy storage targets. Energy storage has become increasingly popular in recent times, with five of the seven states adopting, or increasing, their storage targets in the past two years. In addition, financial incentives for energy storage are currently available in at least ten states nationwide. This includes:
Rebates
Tax Credits
Sales/Property Tax Incentives
Performance-based Incentives
On this page, YSG Solar has compiled a database of the energy storage incentives available for commercial, industrial and utility projects, as well as the energy storage targets for applicable states.

The energy storage system in question must be capable of maintaining minimum 70% round trip efficiency.
Eligibility:
System Size: Up to 5 MW (AC).
Equipment: Must be commercial products with a warranty of at least ten years, installed in compliance with NYSERDA guidelines, by a participating installer.
Incentive Amounts (as of Q1 2020):
These amounts are dependent on the MWh block.
Rest of the state: $250/kWh
New York City: $300/kWh
Long Island: $250/kWh
Max. Incentive Values: These incentives are offered up to 15 MWh per project.
Incentive Calculation Process:
The incentive is relative to the size of the system’s usable energy storage capacity (kWh AC). This capacity is tracked by region on the Mega Watt Hours Block website. As more capacity is installed in a region, the incentive will decrease proportionally to a lower $/kWh rate.

Administrator: NYSERDA
Sectors: Commercial, Industrial, Local Government, Nonprofit, Residential, Schools, State Government, Federal Government, Agricultural, Multifamily Residential
Technology: Lithium-ion batteries
Program Summary:
NYSERDA’s Retail Energy Storage Incentive Program has been established to help New York reach its energy storage target of 3,000 MW by 2030. This incentive is available for projects that are smaller than 5 MW (AC) and are either behind-the-meter, or interconnected directly to the distribution system. The energy storage system in question must be capable of maintaining minimum 70% round trip efficiency.
Eligibility:
System Size: Up to 5 MW (AC).
Equipment: Must be commercial products with a warranty of at least ten years, installed in compliance with NYSERDA guidelines, by a participating installer.
Incentive Amounts (as of Q1 2020):
These amounts are dependent on the MWh block.
Rest of the state: $250/kWh
New York City: $300/kWh
Long Island: $250/kWh
Max. Incentive Values: These incentives are offered up to 15 MWh per project.
Incentive Calculation Process:
The incentive is relative to the size of the system’s usable energy storage capacity (kWh AC). This capacity is tracked by region on the Mega Watt Hours Block website. As more capacity is installed in a region, the incentive will decrease proportionally to a lower $/kWh rate.

Program Expiration Date: 12/31/2025
Program Summary:
NYSERDA’s Bulk Energy Storage Incentive Program has been established to help New York reach its energy storage target of 3,000 MW by 2030. This incentive is available for projects that are bigger than 5 MW (AC) and connected to the energy grid. The storage system in question must serve the wholesale energy market, ancillary services, or distribution level service, and may be standalone or paired with a distributed energy system such as solar. The energy storage system in question must be capable of maintaining minimum 70% round trip efficiency. Incentive values are based on the year in which the project application is submitted.
Eligibility:
System Size: Greater than 5 MW (AC). No upper limit.
Equipment: Must include a warranty from the manufacturer and be UL 9540 or CAN 9540 certified. Applicable UL 1973, UL 1642, UL 1741, or UL 62109.
Project: Installed in NY state and NYISO region & connected to electric grid.
Incentive Amounts (projects below 20 MW):
2019: $110/kWh
2020: $100/kWh
2021: $90/kWh
2022: $80/kWh
2023: $70/kWh
2024: $60/kWh
2025: $50/kWh
Incentive Amounts (projects above 20 MW):
Projects starting 2019: $85/kWh
Projects developed 2021 - 2022: $75/kWh
Max. Incentive Values: $25 million (per project)
Incentive Calculation Process:
The incentive is relative to the size of the system’s usable energy storage capacity (kWh AC) at commercial operation date. If a project only provides energy arbitrage and/or ancillary services, only 75% of the stated incentive for that year will apply.
