BoardNew York State Public Service Commission Commission Session
The session focused on the establishment of the Excelsior Power Program, a new demand response initiative aimed at enhancing grid flexibility and residential energy management. Discussions covered a two-step implementation strategy, which includes an initial rebranding and rollout of enhanced incentives followed by the creation of a unified, statewide platform for easier customer participation. The commission also reviewed the allocation of $33 million in state funding to support these incentives, customer outreach, and education efforts, with the ultimate goal of reducing infrastructure costs and improving energy affordability.
