About

Founded in 2015, NineDot Energy is a private headquartered in Brooklyn, United States with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Energy Storage.

NineDot Energy is the leading developer of community-scale battery energy storage systems in the New York City metropolitan area. Founded in 2015 by David Farnsworth, Adam Cohen, and Nalin Kuhn, the company builds battery storage sites that store clean energy during periods of abundance and discharge it during peak demand periods. These systems replace fossil fuel peaker plants with cleaner alternatives, helping to reduce emissions and improve grid reliability. NineDot has raised over $500 million in capital and operates over 50 projects across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Westchester County, and Long Island. The company is on track to develop, build, and operate more than 400 megawatts of clean energy systems by the end of 2026. NineDot's first Tesla Megapack site in New York (3 MW / 12 MWh) was a milestone project completed in the Bronx with Starbucks as an anchor subscriber.
