Tariff Amendments Regarding the Clean Energy Standard Supply Surcharge
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 tariff filing by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid to modify the calculation of the Clean Energy Standard Supply Surcharge.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Tariff amendments regarding the Clean Energy Standard Supply Surcharge.
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 proposed tariff amendments filed by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (National Grid or the Company) on March 15, 2021. The Company proposes to amend its electric tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 220, regarding the calculation of the Clean Energy Standard Supply (CESS) charge. The proposed amendments have an effective date of July 1, 2021.
Currently, Rule 46.3.5.1 of the electric tariff specifies the renewable Energy Standard (RES) charge calculation, which only specifies Tier 1 Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) costs, included as part of the CESS charge. The proposed revisions include the recovery of REC costs from additional tiers. The Company also proposes to remove the word “annual” from Rule 46.4 to provide for CESS Statement filings more times than once per year, if needed.
The full text of the filing 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.
