I.D No. PSC-37-18-00003-P
Service Classification No. 7—Sale of Standby Service to Customers with On-Site Generation Facilities
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 Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid to amend its electric tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 220, to modify provisions under the Company's Service Classification No. 7—Sale of Standby Service.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Service Classification No. 7—Sale of Standby Service to Customers with On-Site Generation Facilities.
Purpose:
To expand eligibility to customers across multiple buildings connected to a generating facility by a private thermal loop.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering the petition filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (National Grid or the Company) on August 10, 2018, to amend its electric tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 220. National Grid proposes to modify the definition of “premises” under the “Multi-Party Offset” provision on Leaf 435 in Service Classification No. 7 – Sale of Standby Service to Customers with On-Site Generation Facilities (S.C.7). The proposed modification, would change the definition of a premise from a single building to either a single building or multiple buildings connected to the generating facility by a private thermal loop that delivers steam, hot water, or chilled water. This amendment would allow a customer that owns or operates a private generating facility to use the electric output of its generating facility to offset usage on its own account(s) and/or one or more other customers’ accounts located in the same building or in multiple buildings connected by a thermal loop. The Company found that the current language unnecessarily impedes the development of microgrids, and that such an amendment to the tariff is consistent with at least one other New York utility’s multi-party offset provisions. 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.
