Primet is proud to be a founding member of NY-BEST™ , the New York Battery Energy and Storage Technology Consortium. NY-BEST™ was announced in 2009 to position New York State as a global leader in energy storage technology including applications in transportation, grid storage, and power electronics. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is providing approximately $25 million in seed funding through New York’s participation in the Clean Air Interstate Rule to establish this consortium. In January 2010, the consortium was incorporated as a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit .

By bringing together New York’s energy storage companies, universities, and partners, NY-BEST will help build and promote a vibrant, world-class, advanced battery and energy storage sector in New York. Energy storage technologies supported by the consortium include those that store electric energy directly such as batteries and ultracapacitors, components of these technologies, and systems or products that incorporate these technologies throughout the value chain.
