Green Charge Awarded Contract With Con Edison to Deliver 13 Megawatt Hours of Distributed Energy Storage
Green Charge today announced a contract award from Con Edison [New York]
to deliver 13 megawatt hours for Con Edison’s Brooklyn-Queens
Neighborhood Program. Green Charge will install and operate intelligent
energy storage, at no cost to site host customers, within areas of
Brooklyn and Queens. The distributed energy storage portfolio will
operate as a virtual power plant to mitigate peak load on the local
distribution system. Con Edison’s Neighborhood Program will help Con
Edison defer more than $1 billion in new infrastructure spending.
“Our Neighborhood Program is all about finding new strategies and
technologies to help our customers manage their energy usage and still
have the reliable power they need,” said Greg Elcock, who manages the
program for Con Edison. “We decided to test out an auction as a way to
help us keep service reliable at times of high demand and we’re pleased
with the outcome.”
Green Charge will install, operate and maintain GridSynergy Storage at
businesses, schools, housing cooperatives and multi-family unit
facilities in the Brooklyn-Queens boroughs. Green Charge co-optimizes
systems to provide customers with utility bill savings, backup power for
critical loads, and solar PV integration. These systems will run for 10
years, adjusting operations in accordance with facility energy use
patterns, time of day, weather variations, and solar production (if
present).

“Green Charge has been working with Con Edison since 2012 when we set
out to tackle the increasing need to respond to rapid fluctuations in
load on a moment’s notice,” said Vic Shao, CEO at Green Charge. “We have
been operating together now for more than four years. The delivery
network and energy storage systems have withstood 24/7 operation,
multiple heat waves, the “Polar Vortex” and Hurricane Sandy. We are now
set to enter the next phase of our work together – exploring cost
effective means of relieving local energy congestion and system
contingencies through a program designed to prevent or postpone the
costly construction of new electrical infrastructure.”
