Battery energy storage systems in New York City are rigorously regulated, with oversight from the safety industry, federal, state, and local authorities. All code, location, spacing, and other local requirements must be met.
When built, the facility will be able to hold up to 100 megawatts (MW) and power over tens of thousands of households. Once completed, the project will be amongst the largest battery storage installations in New York State.
East River ESS, LLC, an affiliate of 174 Power Global, will build the East River Energy Storage System on land leased from New York Power Authority (NYPA), where the Charles Poletti power plant was formerly located.
NYCIDA closed its largest battery energy storage project to date, the East River Energy Storage Project, located on an industrial site on the East River in Astoria, Queens. When built, the facility will be able to hold up to 100 megawatts (MW) and power over tens of thousands of households.
The facility will serve as a large-scale battery energy storage system capable of charging from, and discharging into, the New York power grid. When fully functional, the 100MW battery energy storage project will be able to discharge electricity to the grid particularly during peak demand.
“Battery storage will play a significant role in advancing New York City’s just transition to a clean energy future and will help to replace dependency on highly pollutive peaker plants that emit dangerous pollutants - ultimately creating a brighter and healthier future for all New Yorkers,” said NYCEDC President & CEO Andrew Kimball.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
