The Management Portal provides two separate and distinct workflows.

Workflow 1: For Developers who are considering participating in the NYC PPTN solicitation. This workflow offers approved applicants, after their registration form is processed and the Developer signs a Confidentiality and Collaboration Agreement, with the opportunity to collaborate with Con Edison to develop the onshore Transmission Grid solution.

Workflow 2: For general inquiries from organizations that will not be participating in the solicitation. This pathway allows organizations to directly pose questions to Con Edison, receive future releases of publicly available FAQs and receive notifications about upcoming events.
