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 proposal by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. to implement a Brooklyn/Queens Demand Management Program.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 2(3), (4), (12), (13), 4(1), 5(1)(b), (2), 65(1), 66(1), (2), (9), (12)(b) and (e)
Subject:
Determination on a Brooklyn/Queens Demand Management program to defer or eliminate the need for traditional utility solutions.
Purpose:
Determination on a Brooklyn/Queens Demand Management program to defer or eliminate the need for traditional utility solutions.
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 implement a Brooklyn/Queens Demand Management Program in north central and eastern Brooklyn (including parts of Greenpoint, East Williamsburg, Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Brownsville, and East New York) and southwestern Queens (including parts of Richmond Hill, Howard Beach, Broad Channel, Ozone Park, South Ozone Park, Woodhaven and Kew Gardens).
The Company proposes to obtain 52 megawatts of non-traditional customer-side and utility-side load reduction solutions to be put in place by June 1, 2018 in order to defer or eliminate the need for a new distribution substation in the Brownsville area. Con Edison proposes to recover costs related to the Brooklyn/Queens Demand Management Program through the Monthly Adjustment Clause (MAC) and proposes a number of measures to incentivize the Company to implement the program successfully. The Commission may approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the petition and may consider any related matters.
