Petition Concerning Tariff Amendments Regarding Billing of Transformer Losses
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 by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid to modify its electric tariff regarding billing of transformer losses for customers with various metering configurations in certain service classifications.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Petition concerning tariff amendments regarding billing of transformer losses.
Purpose:
To ensure that the National Grid tariff contains appropriate provisions for the billing of transformer losses.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a petition filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (National Grid or the Company) on February 8, 2021, proposing to amend its electric tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 220, regarding the billing of transformer losses for customers with various metering configurations in certain service classifications.
Currently, National Grid’s tariff provisions describe how energy and demand are adjusted for transformer losses for billing purposes under scenarios where metered service is at a voltage either higher or lower than the delivery voltage. The Company bills metering adjustments in accordance with the tariff. However, the tariff does not distinguish between energy and demand being delivered by National Grid to the customer or when a customer has on-site generation that exports energy to the Company’s electric system. There are instances where the metering adjustments described in the tariff are not accurately capturing the flow of transformer losses and the corresponding meter adjustments. Therefore, the Company proposes tariff amendments to align metering adjustments and transformer losses.
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.
