Con Edison and National Grid Select CPower for Dynamic Load Management Program in New York 

New York businesses address peak demand reduction and load relief on the distribution grid while propelling forward the state’s distributed energy resource goals

BALTIMORE — April 21, 2021 — CPower Energy Management (“CPower”), a leading energy solutions provider, today announced that it has been selected as one of the awardees by Con Edison and Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (“National Grid”) for each utility’s Term-Dynamic Load Management (DLM) Program (“Term-DLM Program”) in New York. The Term-DLM Program is a day-ahead peak-shaving program that will incentivize customers to provide load relief with 21 hours of notice or more. The program offers fixed pricing for contract lengths of three to five years and longer-term price certainty compared to tariff-based DLM programs, which can change pricing annually.

The Term-DLM Program was established in September 2020 by the New York Public Service Commission along with an additional long-term, contract-based program called the Auto-DLM Program, which requires higher performance in delivering load relief and the ability to respond to event calls in 10 minutes. The new programs aim to create more opportunities for distributed energy resources to participate in distribution level demand response and to help meet New York’s clean energy goals, including the procurement of 1,500 MW of energy storage by 2025 and 70 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.

“New York dynamic load programs serve as a model for greater energy flexibility as it creates value for both the utility and customer,” said Peter Dotson-Westphalen, senior director of Market Development, CPower. “We are honored to have been selected by Con Edison and National Grid as they advance the state’s goals for distributed energy resources, such as energy storage, to drive a cleaner energy future.”
