Treatment of Electric Vehicle Charging in the Authority's Tariff for Electric Service
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
Amendment of Authority's Tariff for Electric Service.
Statutory authority:
Public Authorities Law, section 1020-f(u) and (z)
Subject:
Treatment of electric vehicle charging in the Authority's Tariff for Electric Service.
Purpose:
To effectuate the outcome of the Public Service Commission's proceeding on electric vehicle supply equipment.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Long Island Power Authority (the “Authority”) is considering modifications to its Tariff for Electric Service (“Tariff”) to effectuate the outcome of the Public Service Commission’s Proceeding on Motion of the Commission Regarding Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment and Infrastructure, Case No. 13-E-0138 (the “PSC EV Proceeding”). 1
On April 24, 2018, the Public Service Commission issued an Order Instituting Proceeding, establishing the PSC EV Proceeding and defining its purpose to consider the role of electric utilities in providing infrastructure and rate design to accommodate the needs and electricity demand of EVs and EVSE. The proceeding will explore cost-effective ways to build such infrastructure and equipment, and determine whether utility tariff changes will be needed in addition to those already being considered for residential customers to accommodate and promote the deployment of EVs. The proceeding will also investigate the characteristics of EV charging systems and how those systems may facilitate EV participation as a distributed energy resource (DER) in a manner not yet captured by the Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) Initiative.
The PSC EV Proceeding is open to all interested stakeholders. The DPS Staff will file a white paper in the proceeding for formal public comment. When public comment hearings on topics related to the EV Proceeding are scheduled by the DPS, notice of the hearings will be posted on the DPS’s Document and Matter Management System2. Additional public comment hearings will be held by the Authority in Nassau and Suffolk Counties to facilitate participation by Long Island stakeholders. The dates and locations of these local hearings will be posted on the Authority’s website as they are scheduled.
Orders issued by the PSC pursuant to the process described above will be presented, together with a compendium of public comments received, for consideration and adoption by the LIPA Board of Trustees at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board following issuance of the PSC order and local public comment hearings in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.3
