Tax Credit Program Will Increase Economic Development, Promote Manufacturing of Clean Energy Equipment
As part of an innovative partnership aimed at increasing economic development while setting our nation on the path to energy independence, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Energy today announced a program to award $2.3 billion in tax credits for manufacturers of advanced energy equipment. Authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), this new program will provide tax credits to manufacturers who produce clean energy equipment.
As part of the Joint NYSERDA/DOE Energy Storage Initiative, the NYPA (New York Power Authority) has announced the successful installation of a sodium sulfur battery energy system at MTA LI Bus in Garden City, NY.
The project, located at a natural gas refueling station for 220 buses, will demonstrate the ability of a NaS battery energy storage system to enhance the reliability of the Long Island Power Authority grid by shifting load from on-peak to off-peak.
