The New York State Public Service Commission said that it has approved new incentives by which Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. will be encouraged to make new strategic investments that will enable the utility to reduce overall demand

Central Hudson’s anticipated load reduction of 16 megawatts would come from reducing the amount of electricity used by residential and small commercial customers, as well as by large commercial and industrial customers.

The PSC said that residential and small commercial load control would primarily be direct control of thermostats, and load-control switches to automate cycling of air conditioning units, hot water heaters and various residential and commercial pumps such as swimming pool pumps. Large commercial and industrial load reduction would result from traditional demand response, either automated or manual, where the demand response participant responds to the call to reduce load.
