(a) Applications for authority power. Applications for authority power pursuant to an appropriate service tariff or other contract document will be entertained by authority at any time, and insofar as they meet the qualifications established for the class of power to be marketed, will be considered individually as received, provided that authority may consider two or more applications at one time without reference to order of application.

Applications are subject to public hearings and other procedural requirements pursuant to section 1009 of the Public Authorities Law, as amended from time to time.

Power and energy in excess of authority's contractual requirements and not needed for any other authority purposes will be made available to authority customers from time to time under the provisions of applicable service tariffs or other contract documents.
