Building Bridges to Net Zero

Con Edison’s Brooklyn Queens Demand Management Program

A Targeted Approach to Load Mitigation in High Growth Neighborhoods

Presented by: Eric Kanterman

MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015:  BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO 2

AGENDA

• What Is Targeted Demand Management?• How Does A Targeted Neighborhood Program Develop?• Brooklyn Queens Demand Management (BQDM) Program Overview

• BQDM: A Multi‐Pronged Approach–Active initiatives– Technical Evaluation–Portfolio of Solutions 

MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015:  BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO 3

Background – Power Delivery

MULTIFAMILY BUILDINGS 2015:  BUILDING BRIDGES TO NET ZERO 4

Terminology• Traditional Utility Approach: Build Infrastructure to Meet Peak Demand

• Energy Efficiency (EE): Programs to Promote Energy Savings (kWh)

• Demand Management: Programs to Reduce Demand (kW)

• Demand Response: Temporarily Reduce Electric Usage During Peak Demand

• Targeted Demand Management: Utilizes Customer‐Sided Solutions, including all Energy Efficiency & Demand Side Management approaches, to defer capital infrastructure investments in targeted networks.

BQDM Overview• Meet Growing Demand for Electricity

– Sub‐transmission feeder constraint

• Traditional Utility Approach– Large Capital Expenditure to Meet Peak Demand

• BQDM Program Approach – $200 million funding– Richmond Hill, Ridgewood and Crown Heights networks– Customer Sided 41 MW – Non‐traditional Utility Sided 11 MW

Load Carrying Capacity - BQDM Example

• Load Carrying Capacity is the ability of resources to contribute varies by solution based on attributes. 

• Resources, like solar PV and lighting energy efficiency offer benefits during fixed time frames.

• Energy efficiency is better positioned than solar to provide load relief during BQDM need period

• Battery storage provides certainty of incremental capacity and flexibility.
