02.15.18 - Tesla to deploy new Powerpack battery systems with NY’s largest electric utility
"Con Edison, New York’s largest electric utility company, partnered with Tesla to propose a series of Powerpack installations that could provide grid services to the company. The project will see Tesla deploy several Powerpack systems with Orange and Rockland, a Con Edison subsidiary."
"The actual battery systems for the demonstration project will consist of a 4MW/8MWh portfolio of aggregated batteries located at individual battery sites behind-the-meter of commercial and industrial customers and co-located with distribution-connected remote solar projects. Con Edison says that all battery installations will be developed, designed, installed, operated, and maintained by Tesla."
"The electric utility wants to conduct the demonstration project over a three-year period. After being fully deployed, the $5.6 million project could pay for itself rather quickly by creating over $700,000 in value per year in the New York Independent System Operator’s energy, capacity and ancillary services markets."
