Purpose:
To consider regulation of a retired 47.7 MW generation facility located in Binghamton, NY following its return to service.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering a petition filed by Binghamton BOP LLC on August 22, 2014, requesting relief associated with its application for the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, pursuant to Public Service Law § 68, to operate and maintain the petitioner’s electric generation facility, the currently-retired 47.7 MW Binghamton Cogeneration Plant located in the City of Binghamton, New York, upon its proposed return to service.
