ConEd Issues RFI For Development Of Clean Energy Solutions To Meet Projected 125 MW Gap
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
ConEdison in New York issued a Request for Information seeking clean, non-emitting solutions that can help meet future reliability needs in line with the state's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
ConEd is seeking input from energy developers, aggregators, technology providers, customers, and other entities on potential solutions to address a projected 125-megawatt reliability gap that could emerge in New York City in the summer of 2032. As customer demand continues to grow, that gap could increase to as much as 750 megawatts by 2036, ConEd said
"The company will use the responses, as well as ideas from its own experts, to develop and file a Preliminary NYC Reliability Contingency Plan for review by the New York State Public Service Commission. That plan may include recommendations to procure resources identified through the RFI process," Consolidated Edison said
Specifically, ConEd seeks proposals for strategies such as energy efficiency programs that reduce peak usage, measures that shift load off-peak, dispatchable resources like battery storage, and non-dispatchable solutions such as distributed solar. Proposals must be emissions free and minimize impacts on Disadvantaged Communities
The solutions must be in New York City, but not in Staten Island or the following Con Edison electric networks: Washington Heights, Riverdale, Fordham, Southeastern Bronx, and Northeastern Bronx.
Respondents can include energy developers, aggregators, large building owners, technology providers, customers, and other entities. Con Edison will evaluate proposals based on:
Cost effectiveness
Feasibility
Scale of relief provided
Flexibility
Timeliness
Availability and reliability
Impacts to Disadvantaged Communities
Responses are due March 6 with a webinar planned for Jan. 27 and a technical conference on Feb. 10. For more information, see ConEd's website here.
