Tariff Amendments to Change Emissions Allowances in the Monthly Adjustment Clause and Monthly Supply Charge
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 whether to approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, a petition by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. to change the emissions allowances in the Monthly Adjustment Clause and Monthly Supply Charge.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 66(12)(b)
Subject:
Tariff amendments to change emissions allowances in the Monthly Adjustment Clause and Monthly Supply Charge.
Purpose:
Tariff amendments to change emissions allowances in the Monthly Adjustment Clause and Monthly Supply Charge.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering whether to approve, modify or reject, in whole or in part, a petition by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison or the Company) to make revisions to P.S.C. No. 10—Electricity, related to the recovery of costs incurred to purchase emissions allowances for generating facilities and the crediting of customers for revenues received from the sale of emissions. Pursuant to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Rule on Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone (Transport Rule), which has an expected implementation date of January 1, 2015, the Company proposes to add tariff provisions related to the purchase and sale of sulfur dioxide (SO) and nitrogen oxides (NO) emissions allowances through the Monthly Adjustment Clause (MAC) and Market Supply Charge (MSC) mechanisms. The Transport Rule is designed to reduce SO and NO emissions from fossil-fuel fired electric generating units with a nameplate capacity greater than 25 megawatts. The Company’s filing has an effective date of January 1, 2015. The Commission may approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the petition by Con Edison and may consider any related matters.
