Research Themes +
Energy Technologies Area (ETA) researchers are continually building on the strong scientific foundation we have developed over the past 50 years. We address the world’s most pressing climate challenges by bringing to market energy-efficient innovations across the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors. ETA is at the forefront of developing better batteries for electric vehicles; improving the country's aging electrical grid and innovating distributed energy and storage solutions; developing grid-interactive, efficient buildings; and providing the most comprehensive market and data analysis worldwide for renewable technologies like wind and solar.
Strategic Initiatives +
The Energy Technologies Area (ETA) Strategic Plan is the guiding force for our research and development for the next ten years. It clearly charts a path toward clean-energy solutions and focuses on five detailed Strategic Initiatives. The Plan provides an in-depth look at how ETA is accelerating research to provide affordable, clean energy to all while accomplishing deep, economy-wide decarbonization, looking to avoid a rise in global average temperature while simultaneously developing solutions to increase humanity's resilience to extreme weather volatility.

Abstract

This report presents an analysis of the potential for electricity savings and peak demand reductions in the current equipment and building stock in New York State. The objective is to identify and characterize the electricity conservation resource that currently exists in New York as well as in the service areas of the seven major private utilities (Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp., Consolidated Edison Co., Long Island Lighting Co., New York State Electric & Gas Corp., Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., Orange and Rockland Utilities, and Rochester Gas & Electric Corp.). Consequently, conservation and load management measures are analyzed without considering utility program costs, implementation rates, limits to full adoption, or application in equipment or buildings installed after 1986.

The report should be of use to utilities, energy policymakers, and energy analysts within New York and elsewhere. The results concerning the most cost-effective technologies for saving electricity and peak demand could help to guide utility and/or state-sponsored demand-side management programs. Also, the results could be of use to those who are developing or reviewing utility resource acquisition plans.
