Building a workforce to meet energy demand
More than 200,000 new jobs are required by 2030 to support the U.S. battery storage supply chain demand. NENY Workforce Development programs are preparing the future workforce, spanning all levels of experience and across the battery lifecycle – driven by industry partnerships. Learn more about programs open now for the battery industry in Upstate New York.
“Establishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough scientific challenges for new materials and developing a manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing electric vehicle (EV) and stationary grid storage markets.”
The NENY Supply Chain Database is Live!
In partnership with Binghamton University, NY-BEST is leading the effort to catalyze rapid growth in the energy storage industry through the NENY Supply Chain Project through this comprehensive database of NY companies that are engaged in producing materials, components, and sub-assemblies and/or performing services in support of production of batteries, battery modules and packs, and energy storage systems.
Registration for more businesses to join the database is ongoing. Learn how to apply your company to the database.

Project Initiatives
A comprehensive ecosystem of project initiatives are made possible by the NENY Coalition Members
BATTERY-NY:
Workforce Development:
Developing a host of coordinated and innovative programs throughout the supported regions is a vital part of this initiative for training the workforce required to support the storage manufacturing ecosystem — with specific programs to promote equity and participation of individuals from underrepresented and marginalized backgrounds.
Supply Chain:
To support the rapid growth in energy storage projects and the consequent increasing demand for a strong and qualified supply chain, this project will help to implement a strategy for building and supporting a robust storage supply chain throughout upstate New York — including the creation of a supplier catalog and supplier certification program.
EQUITY and Justice:
Collaborating with community-based organizations to address and secure support for barriers — including securing housing, childcare, and transportation — are critical components to this pillar of NENY. Equity and Justice is integrated into all other project initiatives within NENY as it is essential in the development of emerging markets. We aim to prioritize BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQIIA+, veteran, and women populations in education, workforce, and entrepreneurship programming offered through the NENY initiatives.
INNOVATION and Entrepreneurship
Through innovation in the energy storage landscape, we will establish New York State as the premier destination for realizing energy storage technologies and startups ranging from prototyping to scale-up to manufacturing. While leveraging and expanding existing successful programs, we will develop new programs for proof-of-concept support, acceleration of nascent and mature startups, and the development of new incubation models and facilities.
