Jupiter Power has recently evaluated its portfolio of projects in active development across the United States and has decided to end development of the Oyster Shore project. Although the Oyster Shore project would bring many economic and grid resiliency benefits to Long Island and New York, and Jupiter Power is of course disappointed with the outcome, there was no viable permit path for the project. Jupiter Power will refocus development efforts elsewhere. Jupiter Power would like to thank the site owner and the many neighbors, individuals, and organizations in the community who sought a fair hearing for the many benefits and development circumstances related to the project.

Jupiter Power is proposing to build and operate Oyster Shore Energy Storage, an approximately 275-megawatt battery energy storage system in Glenwood Landing, New York. The proposed facility will replace the current petroleum terminal and will connect to LIPA’s nearby substations along Shore Road. The project will play a critical role in strengthening the power grid.

Project Location

Oyster Shore Energy Storage will be located at the intersection of Glenwood Road and Shore Road in Glenwood Landing and will replace the current petroleum terminal (all existing tanks will be removed, and the site will be remediated). The project will connect to the grid via short generation tie-lines to the Shore Road substation immediately to the north.

Why battery storage?

Supporting Renewable Energy Sources:
Wind and solar energy sources generate when available, but they are not always available. Batteries help make a grid based on these resources reliable by storing the energy when it is available and saving it until it is needed.
‍Customer Demand:
Homes and businesses need reliable energy at all times. Morning and evening hours are typically when the largest amount of energy is needed from the grid to serve customers. During these times, batteries provide energy to meet the high demand.
‍Maintain stability:
Supply and demand of energy fluctuate throughout the day and changes in either can affect grid stability. Batteries help even out the fluctuation of energy on the grid.

Community Benefits

Oyster Shore Energy Storage will benefit residents and businesses by improving the environment and supporting both the power grid and the local economy. Major benefits include:

Improved reliability, efficiency, and resiliency of the regional power grid without an increase in electricity bills.
Increased integration of existing and future renewable resources like solar and offshore wind power across Long Island and New York.
Benefits of a major financial investment in the project with significant, predictable local government revenue.
The construction of the project will require dozens of union labor jobs, and all jobs.
