CREATING THE UTILITY OF THE FUTURE, TODAY.

The NYPA Innovation Challenge connects early stage clean-tech startups to one of the most innovative utilities in the world, enabling next-gen technology demonstrations designed to rapidly scale across the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) operations, businesses, and customers.

In 2019, more than 60 business applicants entered the Challenge, designed to accelerate the commercialization of new technologies for the electricity grid to ensure an affordable and reliable and clean energy supply to New York State. NYPA, the largest state power organization in the U.S., selected Zinc8 Energy Solutions’ Zinc-Air Energy Storage technology to demonstrate energy storage and demand management that can help build longer duration flexibility (8 hours plus) into the grid and optimize the role storage resources play. NYPA will support the development, fabrication and installation of the storage unit at commercial scale over a three-year period.
