On July 17, 2018, the NYS Public Service Commission (PSC) issued a notice soliciting comments announcing the public comment period and technical conferences for the NYS Energy Storage Roadmap. More information on the NY Energy Storage Roadmap can be found in the Law360 articles "Growing Opportunities in NY's Energy Storage Industry" and "A Path to NY's Energy Storage Goal."
Initial comments will be accepted on the roadmap until September 10, 2018, and reply comments will be accepted until September 24, 2018. Public comments can be submitted by registered parties through the Department of Public Service's (NYDPS) Document and Matter Management System (DMM); interested parties can register at this link or via email to secretary@dps.ny.gov.

In collaboration with the NYS Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the NYDPS will hold three technical conferences to discuss the roadmap and to solicit comments.
