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 Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., d/b/a National Grid, reactive power tariffs - PSC No. 207 SC-3, SC-3A.
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.

The Commission is considering a report filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, d/b/a National Grid (Niagara Mohawk) 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 Niagara Mohawk's transmission and distribution system and identifies potential measures and programs available to mitigate those losses.
