Accelerating The Success
Of Your Clean Fight

Energy Storage Deployment Accelerator

The sixth edition of The Clean Fight is focused on energy storage deployment in New York State. In collaboration with New Energy New York, NY-BEST, and with the support of NYSERDA, we’re looking for innovative growth-stage battery and energy storage solutions that are ready to deploy in New York State—a nation-leading hub for energy storage innovation, development, and manufacturing.

Our program is laser-focused on supporting the scaling of your solution. How? Through high-touch business development with customer partners and developers, connections to the right sources of capital to meet your growth needs, support from New York's leading energy storage experts NY-BEST, and access to technical assistance and grant funding to facilitate demonstration projects in New York State.

Applications close April 21, 2025. Get yours in early.
