The Day-Ahead Demand Reduction Program (DADRP) allows large energy users to bid their load-reduction capability, on a day-to-day basis, into New York's wholesale electricity market, where load reduction bids compete with generators' offers to meet the State's electricity demands.

If the load reduction bid is less expensive than a generator's offer to produce more electricity, it is accepted and the bidder is obligated to reduce load during the specified hours on the following day.

The basis of payment is determined by the difference between the metered load and a predetermined baseline amount during the same period.

To be participate in this program, your account must be capable of reducing load by at least one megawatt through load curtailment. For more information, contact O&R's Energy Management Administrator Rick Struck at 845-577-3835.
