Alpha Generation, owner and operator of the Gowanus and Narrows floating power plants in New York City, has proposed replacing the six peaking units with three lower-emitting ones in response to Consolidated Edison’s solicitation for solutions to the city’s reliability need.

A report released in February by Aurora Energy Research has found that President Donald Trump’s executive orders have put 43 GW of East Coast offshore wind projects at risk of permitting delay.

NYISO’s new 10-year reliability plan finds no “actionable reliability needs,” but warns of narrowing reliability margins.

NYISO did not identify any new near-term reliability issues in its third-quarter STAR, but it does anticipate significant load increases in western and central New York that could warrant more attention.

NYISO addressed stakeholder questions in a statement it released about the predicted near-term reliability shortfall in New York City, and potentially statewide.

New York City faces a 446-MW shortfall in 2025 because of plant retirements and the delayed completion of the Champlain Hudson Power Express, NYISO said.
