New York State, the New York Power Authority and SUNY Polytechnic Institute are creating a lab to develop new, sustainable ways to modernize the state's electrical grid.
The research lab, dubbed the Advanced Grid Innovation Laboratory for Energy (AGILe) will simulate, develop, test and deploy a more integrated grid, according to a statement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
The lab will be located at "one of the SUNY Poly Innovation and Commercialization Hubs in Upstate New York," according to a SUNY Polytechnic spokesman. The university has locations in Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Halfmoon, Canandaigua and Buffalo.
The project is meant to help modernize and enhance New York’s aging energy infrastructure and expedite the commercial development of new tech.
