Acumen EMS™ Deployed at a New York Car Dealership to Enable Participation in Demand Response Programs and Provide Backup Power

Sprocket Power, a Katonah, New York-based project developer, was working with a customer in New York State, which historically has a constrained grid and system, requiring utility infrastructure upgrades. The customer, a large car dealership, was looking to install solar, energy storage, and EV chargers and participate in various grid service demand response programs, including Con Edison’s Commercial System Relief Program (ConEd CSRP) and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s Distribution Load Relief Program (NYSERDA DLRP), which would cover the cost of the upgrades, contribute to their energy efficiency goals, and more substantially support the grid. Sprocket Power was looking for a battery and EMS partner that could support the participation in these programs and also provide a resiliency option to power on-site computer servers and other small loads.
