Proposed Modification by Con Edison of Its Procedures to Calculate Estimated Bills to Its Customers
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 whether to grant, deny or modify, in whole or in part the petition of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) to modify its procedures for calculating estimated bills it renders to its customers.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 39(1), (2), (3) and 66(1)
Subject:
Proposed modification by Con Edison of its procedures to calculate estimated bills to its customers.
Purpose:
Proposed modification by Con Edison of its procedures to calculate estimated bills to its customers.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering whether to adopt, modify or reject, in whole or in part, the proposal by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) to modify its procedures to estimate customer bills. The Company requests approval of what it describes as a methodological enhancement to its existing bill estimation procedures. The proposed enhancement consists of a rule-based procedure to account for the impact of extreme variations in weather. When triggered by specific applicability criteria, an adjustment factor will be determined. The Company states that it expects the use of this factor to bring estimated bills closer to actual consumption during the billing period. According to Con Edison, more accurate estimated bills will benefit customers by reducing the difference between the charges billed for estimated usage and the rebilled charges based on a subsequent actual meter reading.
