Keeping Power
Close to Home
Securing energy in the Town of Cambria to minimize blackouts and reduce high energy costs.
About the Project
The Cambria ESS, LLC Project is a proposed battery energy storage system (BESS) in the Town of Cambria, New York that will provide a critical, cost-effective source of reliable power to support the local area. This battery energy storage system will store energy on the local distribution network for Cambria residents, discharging cheaper, cleaner power to homes and businesses during the time of day when demand is at its peak.
By storing excess energy and delivering it to homeowners when it is needed most, battery storage helps balance supply and demand, lower monthly electric bills, reduce strain on the utility grid, and prevent outages.

Local infrastructure for your COMMUNITY
Securing Cambria, Pendleton, Amherst and Wheatfield
Community-level battery energy storage projects like the Cambria Project connect to the local distribution system, namely the existing NYSEG 232 Oakwood Substation. Its main impact is local. It supports local substations, reduces strain during peak demand, and improves reliability in this area.
This project additionally supports the towns of Pendleton, Amherst, and Wheat field with the host community, Cambria, receiving benefits of predictable, reliable tax revenue, and local oversight.
Here is the local distribution map that is supported by the Cambria battery energy storage project.
