Jurisdictions, such as New York City, have adopted regulatory requirements for the supervision of energy storage systems. These requirements ensure that personnel that operate these facilities are knowledge and well-trained in the specific hazards that exist at the facility. Our team has the knowledge and experience to meet the certification requirements for the supervision of energy storage systems in New York City and other jurisdictions.
