Con Edison divides its grid into networks. Each one has a fixed four-hour window when planned events can run (the Commercial System Relief Program, announced at least 21 hours ahead), and a tier for short-notice events (the Distribution Load Relief Program, two hours' notice or less). Tier 2 networks are a higher priority and are paid a higher incentive rate.
Network boundaries don't follow neighborhood lines, so look up your account's network to be sure.
