Sherburne is proposing to include an Addendum – Standardized Interconnection Requirements and Application Process for New Distributed Generators and Energy Storage Systems 15 kW or Less Connected in Parallel with Utility Distributed Systems (SIR) in their tariff revisions, which provides the framework for processing applications from distributed generators or energy storage systems. The proposed amendments and SIR have an effective of December 1, 2019.

Sherburne proposes eligibility for residential or non-residential customers who receive service under Service Classification (SC) No. 1 - Residential, SC No. 2 – General Service – Non-demand Metered, SC No. 3 – General Service – Demand Metered, or SC No. 4 – Large General Service, and own or operate solar, wind, and/or energy storage electric generating equipment with a rated capacity of no more than 15 kW located and used at their premise, in compliance with the SIR. The program will be available on a first-come, first-service basis, until the total rated generating capacity is equivalent to 150 kW (or 1 percent of Sherburne’s average system load). Customers will be responsible for 100 percent of any necessary interconnection costs. Sherburne proposes to provide one bidirectional energy flow revenue meter for billing; the meter charge will be included in the applicable monthly service charge. Customers will pay the rates and charges of the applicable SC for energy delivered to the customer by Sherburne. Customers will be credited monthly for energy (kWh) that is received by Sherburne.

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.

Statements and analyses are not submitted with this notice because the proposed rule is within the definition contained in section 102(2)(a)(ii) of the State Administrative Procedure Act.
