The investigation into potential energy storage sites in NYC reveals not all identified locations are feasible due to multiple constraints.
- The Power Up NYC report was a city-wide evaluation of potential sites for energy storage.
- Not all of the 400 identified sites are expected to be suitable for energy storage.
- Constraints include interconnection issues, permitting, and site safety.
- Further analysis is needed to determine the feasibility of these sites.

Lastly, you mentioned that you support the intent of 354, but you have concerns about just the ambitious targets.

MOCJ's power of NYC report says we had the potential for this amount of energy storage So could you just clarify your position a little bit more?
Steven Caputo

Sure.
Sanna Barakat

Yep.
Elijah Hutchinson

Sure.

Within power up, that was a first of its kind look across the city for available sites where We would determine the where there's feasibility.
0:39:41
We wouldn't expect the maximum number of sites to be all available for storage.
0:39:45
There are other feasibility constraints like interconnection issues and permitting with site safety constraints as well.
0:39:53
So we would have to continue to do a pass at what we what what is feasible out of those 400 sites?
Sandy Nurse
0:40:00
Yeah.
0:40:01
So it sounds like it just needs more.
Elijah Hutchinson
0:40:03
Right.
