Amendments to Modify Provisions Related to Emergency Electric Generators Under General Information Section III (H)
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 by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. to modify P.S.C. No. 9—Gas, related to Residential Emergency Electric Generators.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Amendments to modify provisions related to Emergency Electric Generators under General Information Section III (H).
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 Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison or the Company) on November 5, 2020, to amend its gas tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 9, regarding the provisions related to Emergency Electric Generators under General Information Section III (H).
On January 29, 2020, Con Edison made its Rate Year 1 (RY1) filing in compliance with the Commission’s Order Adopting Terms of Joint Proposal and Establishing Electric and Gas Rate Plan, issued January 16, 2020 in Cases 19-E-0065 and 19-G-0066 (2020 Order). The filing included additional requirements applicable to Residential Customers with a maximum of four dwelling units, located in an area subject to a moratorium on new gas connections, who request gas service for the purpose of supplying an emergency electric generator for use during an interruption of electric service. The additional conditions required such customers to install a separate service line for the purpose of supplying an emergency generator and to become Interruptible Customers.
To reduce the cost burden on the affected customers, Con Edison filed tariff amendments proposing to eliminate the additional conditions and instead require these customers to participate in a gas behavioral demand response or energy efficiency program. The proposed amendments have an effective date of April 1, 2021.
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.
