Where We Work: New York

Peak Power works with a wide range of commercial and industrial building owners, energy managers, and sustainability managers to reduce NYISO ICAP costs and scope 2 emissions. Our deep well of energy expertise ensures that any project we undertake is based on a strong business case in the New York State energy market.

An overview of NYISO ICAP

The New York Installed Capacity Market (ICAP) was developed to ensure electricity supply will meet the demands of the market.

We’ll use the highway analogy: The way our current electricity system is designed, we need to build infrastructure for the 1-hour of highest demand in the entire year. It’s like building a superhighway that’ll be full on the busiest travel day of the year, and nearly unnecessary for the other 364 days. Building infrastructure in that way just doesn’t make sense… and it costs us all a lot of money.

Put simply, the more electricity you use during demand peaks, the more you contribute to the infrastructure requirements, and the more you’ll pay in NYSIO ICAP charges.

It can cost big money too. 1 MW of load during 1 ICAP hour equates to tens of thousands of dollars in annual costs. For large energy users, ICAP charges could be as much as 30% of your annual charges.

Are you taking full advantage of energy incentives in New York?

There’s a vast network of financial incentives to power the shift to distributed energy resources (DERs), but these incentives can be hard to navigate and complex to understand.

With the right strategies commercial and industrial players can unlock profitability, tap into multiple value streams and incentives, and make progress towards net zero.

Reducing ICAP costs with Energy Storage

In 2018, Peak Power worked with GHP Office Realty to develop a battery storage project consisting of 4 energy storage units, with a total capacity of 1,334 kW. 

The energy storage system reduces utility costs and provides peak demand relief for the utility. Con Edison, the electric utility for this site, provides funding for this system to reduce peak demand during certain windows of time through the Demand Management Program. 

By participating in the program, the project received an incentive from Con Edison, reducing the total project cost.
