10/12/16 N.Y. St. Reg. LPA-41-16-00008-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Long Island Power Authority is proposing to modify its Tariff for Electric Service effective January 1, 2017, to move certain capacity related power supply costs from base rates to the Authority's Power Supply Charge.
Statutory authority:
Public Authorities Law, section 1020-f(u) and (z)
Subject:
Authority's Power Supply Charge.
Purpose:
To move certain capacity related power supply costs from base rates to the Authority's Power Supply Charge.
Public hearing(s) will be held at:
10:00 a.m., Nov. 28, 2016 at H. Lee Dennison Bldg., 100 Veterans Memorial Hwy., Hauppauge, NY; and 2:00 p.m., Nov. 28, 2016 at Long Island Power Authority, 333 Earle Ovington Blvd., 4th Fl., Uniondale, NY.
Interpreter Service:
Interpreter services will be made available to hearing impaired persons, at no charge, upon written request submitted within reasonable time prior to the scheduled public hearing. The written request must be addressed to the agency representative designated in the paragraph below.
Accessibility:
All public hearings have been scheduled at places reasonably accessible to persons with a mobility impairment.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Long Island Power Authority (“the Authority”) Staff proposes to modify the Tariff for Electric Service effective January 1, 2017 to revise the Authority’s Power Supply Charge (or Fuel and Purchased Power Cost Adjustment, or FPPCA) so as to move the charges related to the Power Supply Agreement (“PSA”) with National Grid power plants that serve Long Island, LIPA’s 18% ownership in the Nine Mile Point Unit 2 nuclear power plant, and payments in lieu of taxes on merchant power plants that serve Long Island from base rates into the Power Supply Charge. This change is revenue neutral as these costs are already charged in base rates at actual cost to customers. Staff also proposes to modify the Power Supply Charge to make clear that costs incurred under the Clean Energy Standard are recoverable in the Power Supply Charge.
