PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:

The Commission is considering a petition filed the New York Power Authority, the DEC, the DOT, and the Thruway Authority regarding electric rates for Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) facilities.

Electric ratemaking policy for Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) facilities used to recharge electric vehicles.

To ensure just and reasonable rates in the context of charging electric vehicles.

The Commission is considering a proposal filed by the New York Power Authority, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the New York State Department of Transportation, and the New York State Thruway Authority (Petitioners), on April 13, 2018, requesting the Commission direct utilities to shift all customer accounts for publicly accessible Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) equipment to a non-demand metered rate and to consider long-term rate modifications that take into account the low load factors and sporadic usage of DCFC equipment. The Petitioners request that the Commission direct investor-owned utilities to modify their Service Classification 2 (SC-2) or Small General non-demand metered tariffs so that DCFC customers: 1) qualify for non-demand metered SC-2 classification; 2) are exempt from any kW or kWh limit that would jeopardize their entitlement to take non-demand metered service; and 3) are provided a one-time opportunity to elect to take service under the applicable demand-metered service classification. The Petitioners also request that the Commission commence a proceeding to establish principals to guide investor-owned utilities in redesigning rates applicable to DCFC accounts and in the development of broader Electric Vehicle implementation plans. Additionally, the Petitioners request the Commission direct Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. to expand its Business Incentive Rate discounts eligibility to NYPA DCFC accounts served under the Small General non-demand-metered rate. 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.
