I.D No. PSC-02-12-00010-P
Energy Efficiency Programs Administered by New York State Electric & Gas Corp. and Rochester Gas and Electric Corp.
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 November 22, 2011 amended petition filed by New York State Electric & Gas Corp. and Rochester Gas and Electric Corp. in Case 07-M-0548 et al. for approval of a Home Energy Reports Demonstration Program.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(2) and 66(1)
Subject:
Energy efficiency programs administered by New York State Electric & Gas Corp. and Rochester Gas and Electric Corp.
Purpose:
To approve Home Energy Reports energy efficiency program.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering whether to adopt, modify, or reject, in whole or in part, or to take other action regarding a petition submitted on November 22, 2011 by New York State Electric & Gas Corporation and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation in the Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS) proceeding, Cases 07-M-0548 et al. The petition seeks Commission approval to implement a revised Home Energy Reports (HER) Demonstration program. An original petition, dated January 25, 2011, was approved by the Commission. The utilities determined that the HER program could not be administered with the approved energy savings targets and budgets, therefore requested a waiver from the program on April 15, 2011. In August 2011, the utilities notified the Commission that it could implement a HER program with amended program targets and budgets. In its November 22, 2011 petition, the utilities request permission to: (1) implement a HER program with revised savings targets and budgets; (2) provide the Commission with achievable savings targets and budgets after reviewing vendor proposals; and (3) to be relieved of the 2011 electric and gas savings targets.
