Tariff Amendments Allowing Provision of Uninterrupted Economic Development Power for Recharge NY (RNY) Customers
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following action:
Proposed Action:
The PSC adopted an order approving on an emergency basis tariff revisions filed by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. and New York State Electric & Gas, and Rochester Gas & Electric. The tariff revisions allow the companies to provide uninterrupted economic development power under the Recharge New York program to customers receiving economic power under the soon to expire Power for Jobs economic development program.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5, 65 and 66; Public Authorities Law, section 1005; Economic Development Law, section 188-a
Finding of necessity for emergency rule:
Preservation of public health, public safety and general welfare.
Specific reasons underlying the finding of necessity:
This action is taken on an emergency basis pursuant to State Administrative Procedure Act (SAPA) § 202(6). Failure to approve Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.'s, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.'s and New York State Electric & Gas' proposed tariff revisions would result in a delay for customers to receive economic development power under the Recharge New York program that are enrolled in the soon to expire Power for Jobs economic development program. Such a delay could adversely impact the state's economy by causing rate shock to certain private employers. As a result, compliance with the advance notice and comment requirements of SAPA § 202(1) would be contrary to the public interest, and the immediate authorization to approve the necessary tariff amendments is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety and general welfare.
Subject:
Tariff amendments allowing provision of uninterrupted economic development power for Recharge NY (RNY) customers.
Purpose:
To allow for the uninterrupted transfer of rates to RNY economic development power for customers receiving Power for Jobs rates.
Substance of emergency/proposed rule (Full text is posted at the following State website:www.dps.ny.gov):
The Public Service Commission adopted an order approving on an emergency basis tariff revisions filed by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. and New York State Electric & Gas Corporation. The tariff revisions allow the companies to provide uninterrupted economic development power under the Recharge New York program to customers receiving economic power under the soon to expire Power for Jobs economic development program. Failure to approve the tariff amendments before the July 1, 2012 commencement of the RNY program could cause economic hardship to eligible business frustrating the purpose of the RNY economic development program.
