ICF
Consulting Assists Con Edison in Increasing Distribution
Network Reliability
ALBANY, NY, January
6, 2005 – ICF
Associates LLC, Inc., a subsidiary of ICF Consulting, was
awarded a contract by Consolidated Edison Company of New
York (Con Edison) to provide monitoring and verification
(M&V) services related to its Targeted Demand Side
Management (DSM) Initiative. The Initiative is intended
to increase local electricity distribution network reliability
and defer new network construction through the "purchase"
of permanent load reduction from third-party providers.
ICF Consulting will provide turnkey M&V services to
ensure that a firm reduction in network demand of 47 megawatts
is delivered to Con Edison.
"Con Edison is pleased to call on ICF
Consulting’s
depth and breadth of experience in energy saving and load
reduction programs," says Louis A. Cedrone, Director
of Marketing and Sales, Con Edison. "We are convinced
that demand side management by all classes of customers
will be a viable alternative to major capital outlays for
new distribution infrastructure. Our longstanding relationship
with ICF Consulting as a valuable ally to Con Edison will
help ensure that our DSM objectives are met," says
Mr. Cedrone.
"ICF Consulting staff have designed,
marketed, implemented, and evaluated energy-efficiency and load reduction programs for decades," says Jeanne
Townend, an ICF Consulting Senior Vice President in charge
of the firm’s
Energy Policy and Programs work. "We are pleased
to bring this expertise to the important role of ensuring
that Con Edison’s goals are met by verifying the
activities and savings promised by third-party vendors,"
says Ms. Townend.
Michael Mernick, Vice President in charge
of the project, says, "Our extensive energy-efficiency
credentials and our deep experience in building data management
systems will provide Con Edison with the expertise needed
to track and verify the installation of energy-efficiency
and load reduction measures and the confidence to report
on those savings."
