Grant Funding

The agency noticed a public hearing for financial assistance tied to two battery energy storage systems at 18-01 20th Avenue in Astoria. The project would build and equip 126 MW of storage across two facilities, with transformers, switchgears, and grid charging and discharging capability. The requested benefits include city and state sales tax exemptions and partial mortgage recording tax relief. This is a pre-approval financing signal around a large utility-scale storage build.
