Waiver to the Prohibition on Service to Low-Income Customers by ESCOs
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 on January 31, 2017 by M&R Energy Resources Corp. seeking a waiver to the prohibition on service to low-income customers by energy service companies (ESCOs).
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5(1)(b), 65(1), (2), (3), 66(1), (2), (3), (5) and (8)
Subject:
Waiver to the prohibition on service to low-income customers by ESCOs.
Purpose:
To consider the petition for a waiver to the prohibition on service to low-income customers by ESCOs.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering a petition filed on January 31, 2017 by M&R Energy Resources Corp. seeking a waiver to the prohibition on service by energy service companies (ESCOs) to low-income customers (Petition). On December 16, 2016, the Commission directed a prohibition on ESCO service to low-income customers (Prohibition Order). The Prohibition Order provided that, if an ESCO can demonstrate that it is capable of providing a product to low-income customers that guarantees savings compared to what the customer would have otherwise paid as a full-service utility customer, it may seek a waiver of the Prohibition Order from the Commission. The full text of the petition 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 relief requested and may resolve related matters.
