Varies by Utility

New York State & Utility Programs

New York has no statewide residential battery rebate, but high time-of-use spreads and storm outages make storage attractive.

While New York does not run a large statewide battery rebate, individual utilities sometimes offer demand-response or pilot programs. Check with Con Edison for current offers.

Why Batteries Make Sense in New York

New York averages about 6 hours of grid outages a year, and a wide peak-to-off-peak price gap means time-of-use bill savings stack on top of backup value.
