PJM Demand Response & Peak Shaving in New Jersey

Earn revenue and cut energy costs with battery storage and predictive demand response and demand management

In PJM, large commercial and industrial energy users in New Jersey can achieve significant savings and unlock new revenue by making their energy use more flexible. Through demand response, capacity markets, peak shaving, and ancillary services, large commercial and industrial facilities can slash energy costs and earn payments for reducing demand when the grid needs support.

With Peak Power’s battery storage system powered by our GridPredict™ software,
curtailment happens automatically – turning energy flexibility into a financial benefit while eliminating the need for labour-intensive, manual curtailment. Plus, Peak Power will develop, finance, operate, and maintain the battery storage system, giving facilities a zero-capex, zero labour solution to improve the bottom line and sustainability initiatives.

Battery Energy Storage: The Smarter Way to Participate in PJM Demand Response

Battery systems transform demand response from a manual, disruptive process into a precise, automated curtailment strategy. When PJM signals high demand, Peak Power’s AI-enabled controls discharge stored energy to reduce your facility’s grid draw in milliseconds. This automated curtailment can earn capacity and energy payments from PJM while also reducing your local demand charges.

But that’s only one piece of the value stack. The same battery that earns demand response revenue can also generate returns year-round through:

  • Peak Shaving: Forecasted with GridPredict™, your system discharges during utility peak hours to lower monthly demand charges.
  • Energy Arbitrage: Charge when wholesale prices are low, discharge when they’re high to capture market spread.
  • Ancillary Services: Provide frequency regulation and reserves to PJM’s real-time
    markets.
  • Incentives and Grants: Benefit from New Jersey’s Garden State Energy Storage Program and federal investment tax credits.

Together, these stacked benefits deliver long-term financial value all while supporting a more reliable, more sustainable grid.

Peak Power provides an end-to-end solution: from feasibility studies and development to financing and permitting to market participation and settlement, helping your facility monetize energy with battery storage.

GHP Westchester Website Project Highlight

Reducing ICAP costs with Energy Storage

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, which reduced the total project cost.

This innovative energy storage system is believed to be the first project of its kind to operate under FERC Order 841 and the CPUC’s decision on multi-use applications.

The battery is located behind the manufacturing site’s retail meter with San Diego & Gas Electric so it can provide energy services for the facility like demand charge management and time-of-day rate shifting. It’s also equipped with a CAISO meter and RIG so it can be an energy resource for the California grid.

This through-the-meter application of battery storage enables it to operate as a behind-the-meter or a front-of-the-meter resource.
