The windows are tight, the pressure to open is high, and system capacity is often already stretched. That means pumps, fans, and compressors come online all at once, triggering peak demand charges. Batteries don\u2019t fix this by reducing snowmaking\u2014they help by <strong>absorbing some of that peak load<\/strong> at the right moment, flattening the profile without changing how snow is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proposal aims to test exactly that: <strong>Can BESS deliver both site-level savings and grid value\u2014without requiring capital from the operator?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Status &amp; What\u2019s Next<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This proposal is <strong>currently under NYSERDA review<\/strong> and has <strong>not yet been awarded<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>strong support letters from all our strategic partners including both NYSEG, National Grid,<\/strong> which shows a shared belief in the impact of the study.
