London, UK, 8th December – Piclo, the world’s leading flexibility marketplace provider, will be extending their partnership with National Grid in New York State to manage the procurement of their Vintage Year 2025 Term Dynamic Load Management (Term-DLM) and Auto Dynamic Load Management (Auto-DLM) Programme on Piclo Flex. Piclo will continue to deliver the existing Non-Wires Alternatives program on our marketplace for National Grid that was launched in 2022, with more competitions coming in early 2024.
National Grid’s demand response programs aim to increase system flexibility and reduce costs for customers of electricity. They play an integral role in supporting New York State’s nation-leading climate goals, including energy storage targets as outlined by the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
In order to reduce peak demand constraints and improve system reliability, National Grid is seeking over 100 MW of system-wide load relief solutions for Term-DLM across the state, as well as 9.39 MW of rapid load relief solutions for Auto-DLM, targeting specific locations at a local level — including Tonawanda, Rome, Cohoes, Albany, and Cobleskill/Howes Cave.
Qualified flexibility providers with the facility to decrease their electricity consumption or turn up generation and with a minimum of 50 kW aggregated capacity can participate in these competitions.
Bids must be submitted by the March 1, 2024 deadline. National Grid will notify bidders of their status by March 31, 2024, and accepted portfolios will commence participation on May 1, 2025. Interested providers must register on Piclo Flex to participate.
