I.D No. PSC-53-19-00010-P
To Clarify the Term "Customer" Under Rule 28 — Special Services Performed by Company for Customer at a Charge
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 proposal filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid to modify P.S.C. No. 220 — Electricity to clarify the applicability of the term "customer" under Rule 28.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
To clarify the term "customer" under Rule 28 — Special Services Performed by Company for Customer at a Charge.
Purpose:
To ensure safe and adequate service at just and reasonable rates charged to customers without preferences.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a proposed tariff amendment filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (National Grid or the Company) on December 12, 2019 to amend its electric tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 220 – Electricity.
National Grid proposes to modify Rule 28 – Special Services Performed by Company for Customer at a Charge to clarify language regarding who is included within the meaning of the term “customer” for entities and individuals requesting services under Rules 28.1-28.4. Rule 28 is applicable to services and facilities requested by entities and individuals that are beyond the Company’s general service obligations, e.g., installation of additional facilities, performance of additional services and removal or relocation of existing facilities for customer-driven reasons. National Grid proposes to clarify that the term “customer” refers to any applicant, customer, or third party requesting the work, services and facilities performed and/or installed by the Company under Rule 28. Thus, for the purposes of Rule 28, the term customer would include those requesting special services whether or not the entity takes electric service from National Grid. The proposed amendment has an effective date of April 1, 2020.
The full text of the tariff amendment 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.
