1/3/07 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-01-07-00023-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed action:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve or reject, in whole or in part, a proposal filed by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation to make various changes in the rates, charges, rules and regulations contained in its schedule for electric service, P.S.C. No. 15, to become effective March 22, 2007.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 66(12)
Subject:
Farm wind net metering.
Purpose:
To incorporate the amended Wind Net Metering Law which clarified the wind net metering eligibility of farm generators.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation's (Central Hudson's) request to revise its electric tariff, P.S.C. No. 15, to eliminate the requirement that wind generating equipment has to be installed at a residential meter to qualify for net energy metering, pursuant to amendments in Public Service Law Section 66-I, signed into effect on September 13, 2006. Central Hudson proposes that farm service wind generating equipment with a rated generating capacity of not more than 125 kW can be installed at a farm meter and participate in net energy metering as long as the customer's primary residence is located on the same land used for such farm service. The proposed effective date of the Central Hudson's filing is March 22, 2007. The Commission may approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, Central Hudson's request.
