6. New York Independent System Operator
(NYISO): not-for-profit with 3 main functions
1. Operates the high-voltage
transmission network
- 11,000 miles of high-voltage transmission
- ~34,000 MW peak demand
- ~42,000 MW total supply capacity
2. Administers and monitors the

2. Administers and monitors the
wholesale electricity markets
- Trading over $11 billion in electricity and
related products annually
- Monitors and prevents manipulative activity
3. Plans for the state’s energy future
- Conducts long-term assessments of
electricity resources and needs

7. New York City and Westchester Utility Energy System
• Service Area: 604 square miles
• Serving 3.4 million customers,
10 million people
• 2.5 million customers are in
networks
• System is 87% underground and• System is 87% underground and
13% overhead
• NYC: 235 MW/sq mi; Territory
20MW/sq mi
• 133,000 miles of T&D cable (over
96,000 miles are underground)
• 13,322 MW peak demand (5pm)
• 57,000 million kWh consumption
