Kathy Hochul announced a new framework for the state to achieve a nation-leading 6 GW of energy storage by 2030…”

Yeah, not so sure about that “nation-leading” claim. California has an aggregate of several GWh of distributed ESS online right now. By 2025 on one project alone is expected to be 1,500MW/6,000MWh in the Monterey region of California. There’s at least 20GWh of ESS projects in queues waiting for some prospect of regulatory approval to get started. California has already proven there is a need NOW for another 60GWh of distributed ESS in the State, so California is actually behind in energy storage. As that mandate of no more ‘new’ ICE sales in California by 2035, and the push for more BEVs on the roads, overall electricity infrastructure will need some serious upgrades to shuttle power from one end of the State to the other end in the coming years. New York is bragging and lagging, not leading the “nation”.
