Con Edison Proposes Changes to its Demand Response Programs Star ting with the 2021 Capability Period
Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (“Con Edison” or the “Company”) has filed with the New York State Public Service Commission (the “Commission”) proposed changes to its Schedule for Electricity Service, P.S.C. No. 10 – Electricity (“Electric Tariff”). Con Edison proposed changes to its demand response programs as follows: (1) allow calling of Commercial System Relief Program (“CSRP”) Events on days when heat and/or humidity are projected to exceed a given threshold so that the CSRP program can contribute to managing localized system peaks on days when the system as a whole is less likely to reach a peak load threshold; (2) allow Distribution Load Relief Program (“DLRP”) participants to differentiate their pledged demand reductions between weekdays and weekends with two separate pledges with accompanying changes to Performance Factors; (3) allow the Company to call DLRP events after 6:00 pm; (4) extend emission control requirements to DLRP Participants for consistency with recently amended Department of Environmental Conservation regulations for distributed generation; and (5) extend changes to metering communications requirements. The filing, which is subject to Commission review and approval, was filed on November 2, 2020, and is proposed to become effective on February 28, 2021. A complete copy of the filing is available for your inspection at the office of the Commission, 90 Church Street, 4th floor, New York, New York 10007, and at offices where applications for Con Edison service may be made. You can also view the filing on the PSC’s website at www.dps.ny.gov under Case 20-E-0547.
