FOR WESTCHESTER LANDOWNERS

Turn Unused Space Into Long-Term Income

Your Westchester property may qualify for a long-term battery storage lease opportunity.

If your property includes excess land, underutilized parking, or low-use space, it may qualify for a long-term lease that generates predictable income—with minimal impact on your operations.
Distributed Sun is partnering with Westchester property owners to support New York’s growing need for battery energy storage infrastructure.

See if your property qualifies.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY EXISTS

Why Unused Space Has New Value

New York is investing in battery energy storage to improve grid reliability, strengthen aging infrastructure, and support growing electricity demand.

To support these projects, developers need strategically located sites with available land and access to existing utility infrastructure.

Many commercial, industrial, office, and institutional properties already have what these projects need. If your property includes underutilized land, excess parking, or low-use areas, it may be well positioned to participate.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Make More of the Space You Already Own

Many properties contain areas that generate little or no value today but may be suitable for battery storage development. Rather than selling land or changing how your property operates, you may be able to generate long-term lease income from a portion of your site while continuing to use the rest as you always have.

Properties often include:

  • Underutilized parking areas
  • Excess commercial land
  • Industrial sites
  • Office campuses
  • Institutional facilities
  • Vacant or low-use portions of larger sites

In most cases, only a portion of a property is required, allowing current operations and future plans to continue uninterrupted.

WHY PARTICIPATE?

WHY DISTRIBUTED SUN?

An Experienced Energy Infrastructure Partner

Distributed Sun has been developing, financing, constructing, and operating renewable energy projects since 2009.

Since then, we have supported energy infrastructure projects across 17+ states, with considerable track record of success in New York. In 2018, we developed the largest community solar portfolio in New York, totaling 111 MW. This portfolio, alone, created nearly $20M in ongoing revenue for 10 landowners. We are also proud to be a trusted development partner of Cornell University, with whom we have collaborated on several projects, bringing the University value for its land and helping achieve its renewable energy goals.

Today we are actively developing battery storage projects throughout New York and bring the experience, capital, and resources needed to move projects forward from concept through operation.
