New York S08645 authorizes ORES to issue siting permits for battery energy storage systems for data centers and requires data centers to submit.

New York S08645 amends the public service law to authorize the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) to issue siting permits for battery energy storage systems for use by data centers, regardless of the expected storage or transmission capacity of such systems and whether they are co-located with renewable energy systems. The bill also requires data centers to develop carbon reduction plans consistent with Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act targets. These plans may include the use of renewable energy systems.
