To Review Utility Tariff, Operating, and Infrastructure Changes to Reduce Electric Losses on Electric Delivery Systems
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 adopt, modify or reject modifications to Orange & Rockland Utilities, Inc.'s Rider O, Voltage Ampere Reactive (VAR) Improvement tariffs, filed with the Commission on December 23, 2008.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5, 65 and 66
Subject:
To review utility tariff, operating, and infrastructure changes to reduce electric losses on electric delivery systems.
Purpose:
Reduce electric delivery losses to conserve energy statewide.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a report and tariff revisions filed by Orange and Rockland (O&R) in compliance with Commission Orders in Case 08-E-0751 issued June 23 and July 17, 2008. The report identifies major sources of losses on O&R’s transmission and distribution system and identifies potential measures and programs available to mitigate those losses. The report also sets forth the basis for the development of O&R’s reactive power tariff. In compliance with these Commission Orders, O&R also filed tariff amendments to establish a reactive power rate applicable to Service Classification No. 8 – General Service Time of Use customers. O&R also proposes to adopt a 97% economic power factor correction level for billing purposes and to institute a reactive charge per reactive kilovolt-ampere hour of $0.00127. The Commission may approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, O&R’s request.
