Initiative to develop new resources to support
collaboration and advance innovative energy projects and business
models
Navigant has been selected by the New York State Energy Research
and Development Authority (NYSERDA) as a key partner to establish
and operate REV Connect, an initiative to advance critical project
development under Reforming the Energy Vision (REV), Governor
Cuomo’s comprehensive strategy to build a clean, resilient and
affordable energy system for all New Yorkers.
REV Connect will offer a central forum for third parties to
submit REV project ideas and receive expert guidance, feedback and
facilitation, and will match ideas with customers, communities, and
utilities to advance high quality REV demonstrations and other
innovative projects, while enhancing the culture of innovation in
New York State.
“Innovation of energy technologies and business models,
specifically for distributed energy resources, are transforming the
way utilities do business as well as the way customers consume
energy,” said Jan Vrins, leader of Navigant’s Global Energy
segment. “We are thrilled to collaborate with NYSERDA to create a
more dynamic, resilient, clean, valuable, and affordable energy
system in New York.”
President and CEO of NYSERDA John B. Rhodes said, “Under
Governor Cuomo’s leadership, New York State is at the forefront of
energy innovation, and REV Connect will help enable energy market
participants to develop and roll out cutting-edge solutions, find
project partners and learn from each other’s experiences. We look
forward to working with Navigant and its partners on this important
work.”
Navigant, partnered with the New York Battery and Energy Storage
Technology (NY-BEST) Consortium, Modern Grid Partners and Zpryme,
will:
- Take stock of the current state of REV
implementation including REV demonstration projects.
- Develop an inventory of areas of
interest, identified and potential market needs, promising ideas,
challenges, and means to engage with REV market participants.
- Develop a REV Connect online portal and
other tools for market engagement to share knowledge and act as a
point of intake for ideas, technologies and projects, while also
providing multi-faceted engagement opportunities to market actors
and utilities - from daily availability to structured events aimed
at fostering alignment and idea creation.
- Create a plan for continued operation
of REV Connect beyond the term of its contract.
