I.D No. PSC-40-14-00012-P

Capacity Related Costs

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

Proposed Action:

The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve, reject or modify, in whole or in part, a proposal by Orange and Rockland Utilities Inc., to make revisions to the rates, charges, rules and regulations contained in PSC No. 3 — Electricity.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, section 66(12)

Subject:

Capacity related costs.

Purpose:

To modify General Information Section No. 15 — Market Supply Charge for capacity related cost.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve, modify or reject, in whole or in part, a tariff filing by Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R). The filing requests approval to modify its General Information Section No. 15 — Market Supply Charge for capacity related costs to P.S.C. No. 3 — Electricity. O&R proposes to revise its description of the Market Supply Charge for capacity related costs due to the New York Independent System Operator’s (NYISO) new capacity zone, G-J Locality. As a result of the NYISO change, O&R will be required to procure a percentage of its capacity requirement from suppliers electrically located with the G-J Locality. O&R proposes to make tariff revisions to reflect its required capacity purchases prior to the start of each summer and winter capability period due to the establishment of the new NYISO Capacity Zone. The amendments have an effective date of December 14, 2014. The Commission may also consider other related matters.
