The Resilient Energy Studio has partnered with local leaders who are excited to serve as potential pilot site hosts across NYC. Selected participants will work closely with Newlab, NYCEDC, and relevant pilot site locations to determine viability and the optimal location for a pilot of their product or technology.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard: The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a center of manufacturing and workforce innovation located across 300 acres along Brooklyn’s waterfront. Future growth includes the continued development of manufacturing and commercial space that anchors the industrial sector, contributes to the preservation of high-quality jobs for the community, and supports continued economic growth for New York City. Sustainability is at the core of the Yard’s efforts. The Yard is contemplating work including retrofitting, prototyping, as well as electrification.

Con Edison: Con Edison is a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc. [NYSE: ED], one of the nation’s largest investor-owned energy companies, with approximately $14 billion in annual revenues and $63 billion in assets. The utility delivers electricity, natural gas and steam to 3.5 million customers in New York City and Westchester County, N.Y. Con Edison believes energy storage will play a critical role in our clean energy future and Con Edison will work with Newlab to evaluate proposals that build utility capabilities and support customer interconnections. The two companies will also evaluate the potential for demonstration projects at Con Edison facilities.

Gateway National Recreation Area: Gateway National Recreation Area is a 26,000-acre urban national park that offers recreational facilities, historic structures, sandy beaches, marshes, and wildlife sanctuaries at park sites across Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Sandy Hook, New Jersey. Well-known park sites within Gateway’s New York units include Floyd Bennett Field, Jacob Riis Park, Fort Tilden, and Fort Wadsworth. Gateway’s General Management Plan calls on the park to enhance sustainability through practices such as increasing energy efficiency and use of renewable energy. While Gateway is currently reliant on non-renewable energy sources, park management is interested in exploring the feasibility of alternative energy on park sites, including safe pilot demonstrations that enhance the resilience of the park and offer educational opportunities for park visitors. Pilot programs or demonstrations on National Park lands require corresponding legal authorizations, including but not limited to NPS-issued Special Use Permits.

Port Authority of New York & New Jersey: The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey is a municipal corporate instrumentality and political subdivision of the States of New York and New Jersey, created and existing by virtue of the Compact of April 30, 1921, made by and between the two States. The Port Authority’s facilities include two tunnels, and four bridges between the States of New York and New Jersey, the Hudson Tubes facility, including the Port Authority Trans-Hudson system (“PATH” or the “PATH system), a bus terminal, the Trans-Hudson ferry service, five airports, the World Trade Center, six marine terminals, two waterfront development facilities, four industrial development facilities, a resource recovery facility, and certain regional development facilities.

New York City Economic Development Corporation: The New York City Economic Development Corporation manages 65M square feet of city property that includes properties in all five boroughs and cut across industries, from retail, to industrial and manufacturing, to ports, and more. EDC is hoping to review proposals for battery storage implementation projects that can provide value to any of these types of operations, from resiliency as backup generation to costs savings with demand response and peak load management, in neighborhoods such as Hunts Point and Sunset Park.

NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services, Division of Energy Management: NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Division of Energy Management (DEM) serves as the energy management hub for City government operations. As part of that role, DEM is charged with leading the City’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions across its diverse portfolio of buildings spanning 80+ agencies, 4,600+ facilities, and ~250 M sq. ft. Today, DEM develops the City’s annual Heat, Light, and Power Budget; manages the City’s electricity, natural gas, and steam accounts; helps agency partners identify energy-saving opportunities at their buildings; funds energy efficiency and clean power generation projects across the City’s portfolio; implements operations and maintenance (“O&M”) best practices; and pilots innovative technologies.
