Proposed Action:

The Commission is considering whether to approve, deny or modify, in whole or in part, a proposal by Central Hudson to modify its Hourly Pricing implementation plan.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, sections 2, 5, 65 and 66

Purpose:

Allow Central Hudson to provide less than a years worth of interval data and charge for manual meter reading for some customers.

Substance of proposed rule:
