VDER Tranche Allocations and Policies
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 filed by National Grid on October 18, 2017, requesting that the Commission permit National Grid to modify the Tranche allocations established in the VDER Phase One Order.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5(1)(b), (2), 65(1), (2), (3), 66(2) and (5)
Subject:
VDER Tranche allocations and policies.
Purpose:
To consider modifications to VDER Tranche allocations and policies.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering the Amended Petition for Approval to Allow Minor Tranche Adjustments (petition), filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (National Grid) on October 18, 2017. The petition relates to the Tranches established in the Commission’s March 9, 2017 Order on Net Metering Transition, Phase One of Value of Distributed Energy Resources, and Related Matters (VDER Order) in Case 15-E-0751. National Grid explains that it inadvertently omitted fourteen projects in making initial Tranche assignments, and requests that the Commission permit it to increase the Tranche allocations so that those projects may be added to Tranche 0/1 without reducing the space available in Tranche 0/1 for other projects. NYSEG proposes that Tranche 2 be reduced in size by an equal amount. In evaluating the petition, the Commission may consider the need for any other modifications to Tranche allocations or project assignments. The full text of the petition 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 relief requested in the petition and may resolve related matters.
