Allocation of Uncommitted Technology and Market Development Funds to the Combined Heat & Power Performance Program
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 petition from the New York State Energy and Research Authority regarding the allocation of uncommitted Technology and Market Development Funds for Strategic Initiatives to the Combined Heat & Power Performance Program.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5(2), 65(1), (2), (3), 66(1), (2), (3), (5), (8) and (12)
Subject:
Allocation of uncommitted Technology and Market Development Funds to the Combined Heat & Power Performance Program.
Purpose:
To consider allocation of uncommitted Technology & Market Development Funds to the Combined Heat & Power Performance Program.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering a petition from the New York State Energy Research Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) filed on June 16, 2014 seeking authorization to allocate uncommitted Technology and Market Development (T&MD) funds to support additional program activities in the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Performance Program of the T&MD portfolio. NYSERDA asks for allocation to CHP of $7.5 million from $10 million formerly allocated to the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in an Order Authorizing the Reallocation of Uncommitted System Benefits Charge III Funds issued September 13, 2012 in Case 07-M-0458. The $10 million was intended to secure United States Department of Energy (US DOE) funding for a New York Energy Storage Innovation Hub, of which $2.5 million would go towards support of the New York Battery and Energy Storage Technology Consortium (NY BEST). Spending of the remaining $7.5 million was contingent on DOE approval of the Energy Storage Innovation Hub. If approval was not granted, NYSERDA was to file an alternative proposal; since approval was not, granted NYSERDA’s filing proposes an alternative. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
