AlphaGen Withdraws Retirement Notices for Gowanus & Narrows Generating Stations in NYISO
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Alpha Generation Services, LLC ("AlphaGen"), manager of the Eastern Generation, LLC portfolio, today announced that it has formally withdrawn its previously submitted Notices of Intent to Retire the Gowanus and Narrows Generating Stations in Brooklyn, New York.
"The withdrawal reflects updated market conditions and findings by the New York Independent System Operator ('NYISO') that continued operation of these facilities is necessary to address ongoing reliability needs in New York City through at least May 1, 2029," AlphaGen said
In June 2025, AlphaGen submitted retirement notices for the Gowanus and Narrows facilities, pursuant to the Peaker Rule and the NYISO operating period previously identified as the timeframe during which the facilities were needed for reliability.
"Since that time, market conditions have evolved and the NYISO has completed additional reliability assessments. In its Short-Term Reliability Process Report issued yesterday, the NYISO determined that continued operation of the Gowanus and Narrows units through May 1, 2029, is required to maintain reliable electric service in NYISO Zone J," AlphaGen said
"These units continue to play a critical role in maintaining grid reliability in New York City," said Curt Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of AlphaGen. "Given updated market conditions and the NYISO's reliability determinations, we believe it is prudent and appropriate to continue operating Gowanus and Narrows on a merchant basis."
