I.D No. PSC-39-16-00019-P
Clean Energy Standard
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 petition seeking rehearing of its August 1, 2016 Order Adopting a Clean Energy Standard filed on August 31, 2016 by Transmission Developers, Inc.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(1)(2) and 66(2); Energy Law, section 6-104(5)(b)
Subject:
Clean Energy Standard.
Purpose:
To promote and maintain renewable and zero-emission electric energy resources.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering a petition filed on August 31, 2016 by Transmission Developers, Inc. (TDI) that requests rehearing of the Commission’s August 1, 2016 Order Adopting a Clean Energy Standard (CES Order). TDI argues that Massachusetts’s enactment of “An Act to Promote Energy Diversity” on August 8, 2016 comprises a new circumstance which warrants rehearing of the CES Order. Specifically, TDI argues that the Massachusetts legislation could siphon off a significant portion of the renewable energy supply that would otherwise be available to New York State. TDI requests certain language changes in the CES Order that would allow all renewable resources included in the 2014 baseline calculation to be eligible to produce renewable energy credits available for LSE compliance and would credit voluntary actions against the LSE obligation and the overall program goal. The Commission may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
