To Establish Procedures and Modify Terminology for Underground Residential Distribution Systems
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 proposals filed by Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation modifying its gas and electric tariff schedules regarding Underground Residential Distribution and consistency with terminology regarding deposits.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
To establish procedures and modify terminology for Underground Residential Distribution Systems.
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 proposals filed by Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (Central Hudson or the Company) on January 3, 2020, to amend its gas and electric tariff schedules, P.S.C. Nos. 12 and 15, respectively, to establish procedures for gas Underground Residential Distribution Systems (URD) and to modify its electric tariff schedule to maintain consistency between the gas and electric schedules regarding deposits.
Central Hudson’s proposed modifications would add provisions for URDs to provide clarification for developers. In addition, changes proposed to P.S.C. No. 15 are to maintain consistency between electric and gas tariff terminology regarding deposits and removal of the URD application as it will be made available on the Company’s website prior to the effective date of the proposed tariff leaves. Finally, the Company proposes to incorporate a Statement of URD Contribution to P.S.C. No. 12, similar to the electric URD statement, and establish procedures in order to provide clarification for developers. The proposed amendments have an effective date of May 1, 2020.
The full text of the proposals 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.
