Wappingers Falls Hydroelectric LLC's Facility Located in Wappingers Falls, New York
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 filed by Wappingers Falls Hydro, LLC to provide financial support for its 2.48 MW hydroelectric facility located in Lewis County under the Tier 2 "Maintenance Tier" Program in the Renewable Energy Standard.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(1), (2), 66(2); and Energy Law, section 6-104(5)(b)
Subject:
Wappingers Falls Hydroelectric LLC's facility located in Wappingers Falls, New York.
Purpose:
To promote and maintain renewable electric energy resources.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering a petition, filed on October 9, 2019, by Wappingers Falls Hydroelectric, LLC, (the Company) seeking financial support through a Tier 2 “Maintenance Tier” contract that may be authorized under the Renewable Energy Standard program. The petition asserts that the contract would allow the continued operation of the company’s hydroelectric facility, which has a capacity of 2.48 MW and is located in Wappingers Falls, New York (the Facility).
In the August 1, 2016 Clean Energy Standard Framework Order, the Commission approved, among other items, the continuation of a maintenance program for existing renewable generating facilities needing financial support to remain operational. The Company is requesting a 3-year contract authorizing $27.00/MWh for each Renewable Energy Credit created by the Facility. Upon review of the relevant inputs used to calculate the award, including changes to those inputs, the Commission may adjust the award price requested upward or downward. The Commission may also seek to standardize the formula to be utilized in computing the maintenance tier award.
The full text of the petition 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 other related matters.
