Petition to Move Room Air Conditioning Programs to Rider L, Make Changes to Rider L and Continue the Connected Devices Pilot
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Public Service Commission is considering a petition by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. to move the air conditioning program to Rider L, make changes to Rider L and continue the Connected Devices Pilot with modifications.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66(1)
Subject:
Petition to move room air conditioning programs to Rider L, make changes to Rider L and continue the Connected Devices Pilot.
Purpose:
To consider Con Edison's proposals made by the petition and accompanying tariff filing.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering the petition submitted on August 24, 2017 by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison or Company) to: (1) move the room air conditioning retrofit portion of the Connected Devices Pilot (CDP) program (smartAC kit) into Rider L, including removing the existing MW target; (2) modify the existing Rider L incentive payment methodology and allow non-direct Con Edison customer participation; and (3) continue CDP as a connected devices pilot incubator with total funding capped at an average annual level equal to its existing annual funding level, with elimination of the megawatt (MW) target to reflect the removal of the smartAC kit. The Commission is also considering approving conforming changes to Con Edison’s electric tariff, Schedule for Electricity Service, P.S.C. No. 10 – Electricity, proposed in the petition. In addition to the items included in the petition, the Company is proposing housekeeping tariff changes to remove text on annual program cost limitations, clarify the definition of “Event,” specify it no longer will accept new enrollments for a Rider L program, update references from the Residential Smart Appliance Program (RSAP) to CDP, clarify restrictions to Rider L, and allow participants to enroll by phone. The proposed amendments have an effective date of December 1, 2017. The full text of the petition 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 petition and may resolve related matters.
