AlphaGen Proposes Repowering and Battery Projects for NYC's Grid Reliability
AlphaGen has submitted a proposal to Con Edison to address New York City's long-term electric system needs. The proposal includes the Gowanus and Narrows Repowering Projects, which aim to replace outdated power generation units with three new, lower-emitting barges, delivering 819 MW of capacity. The project will reduce emissions by over 50% and is designed to be hydrogen-ready. Additionally, battery storage systems are proposed to complement the repowering efforts, ensuring immediate and sustained support during peak demand and extreme weather.
