I.D No. PSC-23-19-00004-P
Individually Negotiated Contracts
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 Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation to modify its gas tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 12, to add a provision for individually negotiated contracts to SC 9 — Interruptible Transportation Rate.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Individually negotiated contracts.
Purpose:
To ensure safe and adequate service at just and reasonable rates charged to customers without undue preferences.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering a proposal filed by Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (Central Hudson) on May 10, 2019, to modify its gas tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 12, to add a special provision for individually negotiated contracts under Service Classification (SC) No. 9 – Interruptible Transportation Rate.
Central Hudson proposes to add a special provision to SC 9 to allow for individually negotiated contracts. The special provision will be available to customers that exhibit the ability to consume at least 400,000 Mcf on an annual basis at one service point. Participating customers must also exhibit operational flexibility, such as temporal load diversity, and are located in areas where Central Hudson has existing facilities with adequate capacity to meet a customer’s requirements. The terms and conditions of individually negotiated contracts would be filed with the Commission as tariff addenda. The proposed amendment has an effective date of October 1, 2019.
The full text of the proposal 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.
