Sarah Trafton reports in Columbia-Greene Media that Glidepath, an alternative energy company based in Illinois, showed off plans to put 40 lithium-ion battery storage containers on 10 acres near Route 9W and Route 23 in Catskill. The proposed grid support system, if approved, would generate 20 megawatts of power. The company needs both the planning board and town board approval, and Glidepath has requested a coordinated review. Then the county planning board also has to review the proposal. Glidepath Chief Development Officer Peter Rood explained about the project. “The sun isn’t always out, the wind isn’t always blowing. Battery projects provide these services that renewable projects can’t provide as easily,” he said.
