Hudson Valley's Energy Challenges
Understanding the unique energy challenges facing the Hudson Valley and how demand response provides solutions
Transmission Constraints
The Hudson Valley region has limited transmission capacity, making it vulnerable to supply shortages during peak demand periods.
Solution
Local demand reduction through our program provides immediate relief without needing new transmission lines.
Impact
Improves grid stability and reduces the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades.
Peak Demand Stress
Summer heat waves drive up air conditioning use, creating strain on the regional electrical grid.
Solution
Demand response reduces peak load by incentivizing customers to use less energy during critical hours.
Impact
Prevents grid overload and reduces need for costly peaker plants.
Environmental Protection
The Hudson Valley's natural beauty and air quality are threatened by pollution from backup power plants.
Solution
Every kilowatt saved through demand response means less pollution from dirty backup generators.
Impact
Cleaner air and reduced carbon footprint for Hudson Valley communities.
Rising Energy Costs
Peak demand periods drive up electricity costs for all Hudson Valley residents through capacity charges.
