New York A02670 mandates that macro cell tower sites be equipped with a backup power source to maintain operation during power outages.

New York A02670 amends the general business law to require macro cell tower sites to have a backup power source. This source must be capable of providing power for at least 72 hours using a renewable energy system, fuel cell electric generating equipment, or an energy storage system. The requirement does not apply to existing backup power sources unless they need replacement. The act defines a macro cell tower site as a location with wireless telecommunications equipment and network components for wide area outdoor service, excluding rooftop, small cell, or distributed antenna system sites.
