Customer eligibility:

The Emergency Demand Response Program (EDRP) is a short-notice program that provides payments to electric customers who reduce load during specific times when electric availability in New York could be jeopardized.

During these events, participants are expected, though not obligated, to either reduce energy consumption or transfer load to a qualifying on-site generator for a minimum of four hours.

To participate in this program, your account must be capable of reducing load by at least 100 kW. For more information, contact Charmaine Cigliano, O&R's Customer Energy Services Section Manager, at 845-577-3121.
