Demand Response Performance Based Incentive
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers incentives to offset the cost of equipment that enables facilities to participate in Demand Response Programs. Common measures include: load shedding controls and automation equipment, installation of new generators, or modifications to existing generators or switchgear.

Incentives are capped at 75% of project cost. Projects achieving both electric efficiency and demand response can qualify for both incentives, but the total incentive is capped at 75% of project cost.
Please visit Con Edison's Demand Response Page for more information.
Eligibility
- All facilities must register in the New York Independent System Operator’s (NYISO’s) Special Case Resource (SCR) Program or Demand Side Ancillary Services Program (DSASP). The NYSERDA approved kW will not exceed the kW committed to SCR or DSASP.
- Generator Eligibility – Generator projects must be located within Con Edison territory to be eligible for funding. New generators must meet the most recent manufacturing New Source Performance Standards (currently, engines < 750 hp must be Tier 3, and engines > 750 hp must be Tier 2). Existing generators must emit less than 7.5 g/bhp-h of NOx. If future DEC regulations are stricter than these requirements, DEC regulations will supersede these requirements.
- Generator Run Hours – Generators must run only during SCR events and for limited testing.
