Con Edison Proposed NYC Reliability Contingency Plan
Con Edison filed a market‑focused plan seeking UDR extension and a new RADR program to meet Zone J needs beginning 2033.
Consolidated Edison submitted a Reliability Contingency Plan that relied primarily on market‑based battery storage (transmission‑ and distribution‑connected) plus firm non‑emitting solutions to meet Zone J transmission security shortfalls projected to begin in 2033 (125 MW) and rise to 675 MW by 2036. The filing requested Commission authorization to extend the UDR bulk storage in‑service deadline to December 31, 2036 and to approve a new Reliability Asset Dispatch Rights (RADR) program to convert eligible VDER storage into 15‑year utility dispatch contracts, while flagging wide cost uncertainty and the energy‑limited nature of storage.
