Saugerties will hold a Q&A forum with lithium-ion safety experts on February 11, following a Key Capture Energy session on February 5 regarding a proposed 100-megawatt battery storage facility. The NYSERDA, Energy Safety Response Group, and Vassar College will participate in the forum.

Key Capture's facility will consist of 110 containers on an 11-acre site, located near a Central Hudson substation. Developers must secure local approvals and pass NYSERDA reviews, aiming for 6 gigawatts of lithium-ion storage by 2030.
