Proposals to Implement an Electric Vehicle Make Ready Surcharge for Street Lighting Customers
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 proposals filed by New York State Electric and Gas Corporation and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation to implement an Electric Vehicle Make Ready Surcharge for Street Lighting Customers.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Proposals to implement an Electric Vehicle Make Ready Surcharge for Street Lighting Customers.
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 proposals filed by New York State Electric & Gas Corporation and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (together, the Companies) on January 25, 2022, to amend their electric tariff schedules, P.S.C. Nos. 121 and 18, respectively, to implement an Electric Vehicle Make Ready Surcharge for Street Lighting schedules, consistent with the Order Establishing Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Make-Ready Program and Other Programs (Order), issued July 16, 2020.
The tariff provisions applicable to street lighting customers were inadvertently omitted from the Companies’ compliance tariff filings in response to the Order. The proposed amendments have an effective date of June 1, 2022. The Companies request the requirement of 66(12)(b) of the Public Service Law and 16 NYCRR Section 720-8.1 regarding newspaper publication be waived. The Companies will directly communicate the changes via a bill message to street lighting customers. The bill message will be included on the lighting customers’ bills for May and June 2022.
The full text of the proposals 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.
