Petition for Deferral and Recovery of Lost Revenue Resulting from Central Hudson's Proposed Empire Zone (EZ) Rate

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

Proposed Action:

The Commission is considering a petition filed by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation seeking approval for deferral and recovery of lost revenue resulting from the delivery discounts under the proposed Empire Zone Rate in its electric schedule.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, section 66(12)

Subject:

Petition for deferral and recovery of lost revenue resulting from Central Hudson's proposed Empire Zone (EZ) Rate.

Purpose:

To consider Central Hudson's petition for deferral and recovery of lost revenue resulting from its proposed EZ Rate provision.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Commission is considering a petition filed by Central Hudson Gas and Electric Corporation (Central Hudson or the Company) seeking approval for deferral and recovery of lost revenue which would result from its proposed provision of an Empire Zone (EZ) Rate, if approved by the Commission. In concurrence with this petition, Central Hudson proposed tariff amendments to establish General Information Section 45 – Empire Zone Rate. If approved, the Company would stand to lose revenue from customers taking service under Service Classification Nos. 3 and 13, since they are not included in the Revenue Decoupling Mechanism (RDM). The petition proposes methods of deferral and recovery, in order to make the Company whole if revenues are lost due to adoption of the proposed tariff changes. The Commission may grant, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the petition request and may resolve related matters.
