Rates for the Sale of Power and Energy

PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:

Proposed Action:

Increase in Production Rates.

Statutory authority:

Public Authorities Law, section 1005, 3rd undesignated paragraph and 1005(6)

Subject:

Rates for the Sale of Power and Energy.

Purpose:

To align rates and costs.

Public hearing(s) will be held at:

11:00 a.m., Nov. 17, 2016 at Power Authority of the State of New York, 123 Main St., White Plains, 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 Power Authority of the State of New York (the “Authority”) proposes to increase the production rates for its Westchester County Governmental Customers. The Authority provides electricity to 103 customers in Westchester County, including the County of Westchester, school districts, housing authorities, cities, towns and villages. Under the proposal, the overall 2017 production rates will increase by 8.81% when compared with the 2016 rates. The increase, which is based on a pro forma Cost-of-Service for 2017, is largely due to expected increases in energy and capacity prices for electricity purchased from the New York Independent System Operator market to serve these customers. The new production rates will become effective with the January 2017 billing period.

Text of proposed rule and any required statements and analyses may be obtained from:

Karen Delince, Corporate Secretary, Power Authority of the State of New York, 123 Main Street, 11-P, White Plains, New York 10601, [phone], email: [e-mail]

Data, views or arguments may be submitted to:

Same as above.

Public comment will be received until:

45 days after publication of this notice.
