In accordance with its Policy Statement issued in Case 14-E-0068 on August 15, 2014, the Commission seeks comments on whether any of the proposals should be identified as Public Policy Transmission Needs/Public Policy Requirements that may drive the need for transmission and should be referred to the NYISO to solicit and evaluate potential solutions.

The Commission may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed and may resolve other related matters, including but not limited to, (i) whether the Commission should provide evaluation criteria to the NYISO or require the NYISO to perform specific analyses as part of its project review process, or (ii) whether any proposed Public Policy Transmission Needs/Public Policy Requirements should be addressed by transmission or non-transmission solutions. The Commission may also prescribe a cost allocation methodology associated with any identified Public Policy Transmission Needs/Public Policy Requirements.
