Proposed Revisions Related to the Participation of Distributed Energy Resources
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 proposed tariff revisions filed by multiple utilities to enable dual participation by Distributed Energy Resources in wholesale and retail markets.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5(2), 65 and 66
Subject:
Proposed revisions related to the participation of Distributed Energy Resources.
Purpose:
To align utility retail tariffs with wholesale tariffs.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering proposals, filed on September 30, 2022, by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation; Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.; Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid; New York State Electric & Gas Corporation; Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.; and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (collectively, the Companies), to modify tariffs related to Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to ensure consistency with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order Nos. 2222 and 841.
The Companies’ proposals seek to accommodate participation by DERs in both retail programs and in the wholesale markets administered by the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO). The tariff amendments would, among other things, establish participation eligibility requirements (including for energy storage projects), rules for compensation to prevent duplicative compensation from a retail program and the NYISO for providing the same service, and cost recovery associated with dual participation. The proposed tariffs would modify provisions related to Net Energy Metering and/or Value Stack compensation, Standby and Buyback Service, demand response programs, and others. The proposed amendments have an effective date of July 1, 2023. The Companies also request the newspaper publication requirements of Public Service Law § 66(12)(b) and 16 NYCRR § 720-8.1 be waived, as the changes may be communicated to customers through program information to be posted on the Companies’ respective websites.
The full text of the tariff revisions 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 also resolve related matters.
