Sign Our Petition to Say Yes to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in New York!

We, the undersigned, strongly support expanding Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across New York State as a cornerstone of a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy grid.

BESS stores energy from renewable sources when it's abundant and releases it when communities need it most. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, BESS helps cut emissions, improve air quality, and protect public health, while also helping families save money on electricity.

Modern BESS facilities are safe, reliable, and strictly regulated with oversight under New York's nation-leading building codes. These projects support local communities and economies by creating good-paying jobs, generating tax revenue, and strengthening the grid to prevent outages during extreme weather and ensuring communities have consistent access to electricity.

As residents of New York State, we say YES to Battery Energy Storage Systems and call on state and local leaders to prioritize safe, responsible, and widespread deployment of BESS as a cornerstone of our clean energy future.
