Gas Service to Power Generators
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 report on Phase Two of the Power Generation Collaborative filed by KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid, as well as related proposed revisions to its schedule, P.S.C. No. 1—Gas.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Gas service to power generators.
Purpose:
To consider proposals in the report regarding service to power generators and related proposed tariff revisions.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering proposals in a Report on Phase Two of the Power Generation Collaborative (Report) filed by KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid (KEDLI) on January 9, 2018, as well as a related proposed tariff revision to its gas schedule, P.S.C. No. 1, filed on January 23, 2018, to effectuate proposals in the Report. The Commission’s Order in Case 16-G-0058, et al., issued December 16, 2016, adopted the terms of a joint proposal that provided for the establishment of the Power Generation Collaborative to be conducted in two phases to consider power generation issues. The issues addressed in Phase Two include: issues associated with value-based and cost-based rate design for power generators; issues associated with balancing service for customers that take service pursuant to the tariff as well as customers with negotiated agreements; possible changes to distributed generation tariffs; and bill impacts associated with any recommended changes. KEDLI filed a proposed tariff modification recommended in the Report to eliminate the additional penalty charge of $10/dth applied to certain customer imbalances in the Company’s daily balancing charges. The proposed amendment has an effective date of May 21, 2018. The full text of the proposal 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 proposed and may resolve related matters.
