Trellis Climate’s Post

This Climate Week we were thrilled to bring together leaders from across New York’s energy storage ecosystem – developers, capital partners, ecosystem experts, and state, city, and federal government officials – to explore innovative solutions supporting the development of energy storage projects in New York State. Believe it or not, it was the only event solely dedicated to energy storage during NY Climate Week this year. We dug into the thorny issues around energy storage financing gaps and some of the emerging solutions identified and tested through our Energy Storage Capital Challenge. From the disproportionate impact small amounts of catalytic capital can have to de-risk projects to the power of technical assistance to unlock new permitting pathways – approaches that can be replicated for broader market impact.
