Megacities use 9% of world’s electricity and New York City is the world’s largest, by far. In areas of extreme congestion, there is a significant, growing need for consumers to reduce their electric load at peak times to prevent grid outages, preserve existing electric infrastructure and contain network damages – which translate into higher costs to ratepayers and greater economic benefits for customer-sided distributed energy resources.
