Will Con Edison's New Bess take stress off its electric delivery system?
Con Edison’s new BESS in the Fox Hills area is expected to take stress off of the company’s electric delivery system when the demand for power is high in northeastern Staten Island, which occurs in the late afternoon and evening hours during the summer. The system includes 11 Tesla Megapacks.
Why is Bess so important?
“This issue is serious to our members, because we pay high bills. People are getting sick from asthma and other health-related illnesses. Climate crisis is a very serious threat, as we saw in Sandy, and our members need good jobs,” he said. He argued that BESS could help lower costs and improve reliability. “So BESS provides those things.
Why did Bess shut down a major highway in California?
In January, a fire at one of the world’s largest BESS plants in Northern California forced the evacuation of about 1,500 people and shut down a major highway. Fire incidents like these have only amplified scrutiny of BESS in residential areas.
