AlphaGen has responded to Con Edison's Request for Information with a proposal to improve long-term electric reliability in New York City. Central to the proposal are the Gowanus and Narrows Repowering Projects, which intend to replace six existing barges with three new low-emission units, providing 819 MW of capacity.

This upgrade aims to cut emissions intensity by over 50% and is aligned with hydrogen readiness. AlphaGen also plans to implement battery energy storage systems to support the grid during fluctuations. The proposal complements the state's clean energy goals while addressing immediate reliability concerns.
