Eaton, a leading intelligent power management company, is joining forces with Endurant Energy to implement 10 battery storage projects across New York City. These projects, boasting a collective capacity exceeding 150-megawatt hours (MWh), aim to bolster clean, reliable power and enhance the resilience of the electric grid in the Bronx and Staten Island.
The collaboration underscores Eaton’s commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and supporting the modernization of urban infrastructure. By deploying energy storage systems, Eaton and Endurant Energy seek to alleviate peak demand stress on buildings and the grid while assisting the local utility in meeting the region’s escalating electricity needs without requiring significant upgrades to existing electrical substations.
Jason Plane, Utility Segment Manager at Eaton, emphasized the significance of these investments in distributed energy storage for optimizing New York’s electrical grid and ensuring reliable power for industrial and commercial energy consumers. “We’re confident our industry expertise, pioneering technologies, and close collaboration with our customers will help successfully reinvent the way New York City distributes electric energy to support a more sustainable and resilient future,” stated Plane.
In addition to contributing to the design of the energy storage systems, Eaton is providing essential power system studies and equipment, including switchgear, switchboards, and transformers, to facilitate safe interconnection with the electric grid. Leveraging its innovative “Everything as a Grid” approach, Eaton aims to enable flexible energy systems that enhance resilience, efficiency, and affordability in electricity distribution.
