New Programs Improve Air Quality and Reduce Costs

The demand for electricity on hot summer days contributes significantly to peak-day generator emissions, installation of costly utility equipment and the purchase of expensive peak-day energy.  Con Edison’s new demand reduction programs for commercial and residential customers provide financial incentives for participation and help lower the demand for electricity during peak periods when energy use is at its highest. For more information about programs for commercial customers, refer to: Commercial System Relief  Program and Critical Peak Rebate Pilot Program.

To help ensure air quality improvements associated with these programs, high environmental standards have been established, including limitations on participating Distributed Generation (DG) and exclusion of DG other than renewable resources in close proximity to certain electric generators.  The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation maps show the geographical areas where DG is prohibited in participating in these programs.  For more information, contact us at dr@conEd.com.
