CutPeak Energy and Renua Energy are partnering to deploy cold-climate BESS across New York—battery-paired snowmaking, peak shaving, live-ops validation, and a faster path from NY’s battery belt to bankable projects.
CutPeak Energy explains how we choose the right battery for ski areas using our SCOPE framework—often selecting second-life EV batteries for their cost savings, U.S. assembly, and cradle-to-cradle recycling. Learn how we protect merchant revenue, reduce risk, and deliver long-duration storage for both demand- and energy-charge savings.
Independent ski areas face rising energy costs and warming winters. Learn how battery-paired snowmaking can unlock revenue, extend ski days, and offer backup power—without CapEx.
CutPeak Energy develops no-CAPEX battery storage solutions for indie ski areas—helping rural resorts survive warming winters, rising energy costs, and Big Money consolidation. We unlock the energy value of land and infrastructure to preserve independent ownership and strengthen local economies.
In July 2025, CutPeak Energy submitted a NYSERDA Category C proposal to test if behind-the-meter battery storage can lower energy costs, reduce diesel use, and help ski areas participate in grid markets—without disrupting snowmaking or requiring CapEx.
Snowmaking is the largest energy load on the mountain—and one of the least flexible. Battery storage helps ski areas control demand charges, reduce diesel use, and participate in grid programs. Here’s how it works, in plain terms.
