The Commission is considering whether to approve, reject, in whole or in part, or modify a petition filed by The Enclave at Malta regarding the enforcement of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid's (National Grid) Tariff Rule 16.6 (PSC 220).

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, section 66(12)

Subject:
