10/13/10 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-41-10-00010-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The PSC is considering a proposed tariff filing by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. to make various changes in rates, charges, rules and regulations contained in its Schedules for Electric Service, PSC No. 9, PASNY No. 4 and EDDS No. 2.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 66(12)
Subject:
Demand Response Programs: Rider S - Commercial System Relief Program and Rider T - Critical Peak Rebate Program.
Purpose:
To revise the Monthly Adjustment Clause in PSC No. 9 and Charge for Demand Management Programs in PASNY No. 4 and EDDS No. 2.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering whether to approve, modify or reject, in whole or in part, a tariff filing by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison or the Company) to revise two of its demand-response programs, Rider S - Commercial System Relief Program (Rider S), and Rider T - Critical Peak Rebate Program (Rider T), in PSC No. 9 - Electricity. The Company also proposes a change to the Monthly Adjustment Clause in PSC No. 9 - Electricity and to the Charge for Demand Management Programs in PASNY No. 4 and EDDS No. 2 regarding total net program costs. Under Rider S and Rider T, customers provide load relief when events are called by the Company. To increase enrollment, leverage New York Independent System Operator programs, and improve participants' response to requests for load relief under the Riders, the Company proposes substantial changes to both programs such as changes to eligibility criteria, application deadlines, call windows, advance notice, the trigger for calling events, payments and the basis for determining performance. The filing has an effective date of December 22, 2010. The Commission may make changes to other utilities' demand response programs in its order in this case.
