Urban Electric Power is a Pearl River, New York based clean-energy company that commercializes a zinc anode rechargeable battery technology developed at the CUNY Energy Institute. As a spin-out from CUNY, it emphasizes materials that are safe, non-toxic, and 100% recyclable, without lead, heavy metals, or flammable electrolytes. The technology is positioned to reduce manufacturing costs relative to conventional lead-acid batteries by delivering extended cycle life and strong performance at high charge and discharge rates, using low-cost starting materials. In the renewable energy storage sector, UEP targets grid-scale applications and related needs, working with project developers and institutions. In 2024 the company announced plans to develop two long-duration energy storage systems delivering up to 600 kilowatts for up to 12 hours per discharge, using its rechargeable zinc manganese dioxide batteries.
