Sparkill
Orange & Rockland Utilities seeks 2MW of load reduction on circuit 50-3-13 in Sparkill, NY serving 4,400 customers—needed for 6 consecutive hours during peak periods (primarily 2PM–8PM) through summer 2032 with potential five-year extension. The utility will evaluate a portfolio of non-wires alternatives including energy efficiency, demand response, distributed generation, and energy storage as an alternative to constructing a new distribution circuit tie. Proposals must meet specific capacity requirements from 24-hour peak day load curves, with distributed energy resources sited along Route 9W between Rockland Road and the New Jersey state line.

AI overview
Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) is seeking proposals for innovative non-wires alternatives solutions to provide system reliability and load relief to the electric distribution system in the Sparkill, New York area. The Sparkill Substation is a single-bank distribution substation located on Rt 340 in Orangeburg, NY, serving approximately 4,400 customers from four 13.2kV distribution circuits. The project specifically targets circuit 50-3-13, which currently has 100% backup but is expected to experience additional load growth that will increase circuit load over the conductor relief rating. The non-wires alternatives solution must provide 2MW of load reduction capability for up to 6 consecutive hours (primarily between 2PM-8PM) during peak periods to prevent circuit 50-3-13 from exceeding the conductor relief rating. The solution must be able to provide this load relief for a period of ten years (through summer 2032), with potential extension for up to an additional five years if the planned substation upgrade is delayed. The traditional solution would be to construct a new distribution circuit tie between 50-3-13 and 50-2-13, but O&R is seeking alternative approaches through this RFP. Proposals must satisfy meeting the capacity requirements detailed in the provided 24-hour peak day load curves, with DERs likely located along New York State Route 9W between Rockland Road and the New Jersey state line. The complete solution may be a portfolio of technologies, potentially including energy efficiency, demand response, distributed generation, and/or energy storage resources.
