Applicable Regulatory Regime Under the Public Service Law for the Owner of a Merchant Electric Generating Facility
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering a petition filed by High Bridge Wind, LLC for a lightened regulatory regime in connection with its approximately 100 MW electric generating facility, located in the Town of Guilford, Chenango County, New York.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 2(12), (13), (22), 5(1)(b), 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 69-a, 70, 71, 72, 72-a, 78, 79, 105-114, 114-a, 115, 117, 118, 119-b and 119-c
Subject:
The applicable regulatory regime under the Public Service Law for the owner of a merchant electric generating facility.
Purpose:
Consideration of a lightened regulatory regime for the owner of an approximately 100 MW electric generating facility.
Substance of proposed rule:
The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering a petition filed by High Bridge Wind, LLC (High Bridge) on October 28, 2020, for a lightened regulatory regime in connection with its ownership and operation of an approximately 100 MW wind generating facility that High Bridge is developing in the Town of Guilford, Chenango County, New York.
High Bridge requests that the Commission issue an order providing that it will be regulated under the Public Service Law subject to a lightened regulatory regime consistent with that imposed on the owners-operators of other competitive wholesale generators. The Commission is also considering High Bridge’s request for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Public Service Law § 68 for authority to develop, construct, and operate the proposed electric generating facility.
The full text of the petition and the full record of the proceeding may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed and may resolve related matters.
