2/10/10 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-06-10-00022-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
Rehearing of the Commission's Order of December 17, 2009 related to development planning for Consolidated Edison Company of New York Inc.'s (Consolidated Edison) Hudson Avenue generating facility.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 79, 80 and 81
Subject:
The Commission's Order of December 17, 2009 related to redevelopment of Consolidated Edison's Hudson Avenue generating facility.
Purpose:
To reconsider the Commission's Order of December 17, 2009 related to redevelopment of the Hudson Avenue generating facility.
Substance of proposed rule:
On December 17, 2009 the Commission issued an order related to redevelopment of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.’s (Consolidated Edison) Hudson Avenue generating facility. The Commission refrained from ordering Consolidated Edison to construct a cogeneration facility, citing cost and timing issues. The Commission’s order states that if the City of New York makes a timely proposal for the development of a cogeneration facility, including financial support (from the New York City Industrial Development Agency or other sources) which would make a cogeneration facility no more costly to customers than steam boilers (taking into account environmental benefits), then the proposal should be considered. The Commission is considering the City of New York’s Petition for rehearing of the Order, stating that the Commission should require Consolidated Edison to seek expressions of interest from potential vendors, and that the New York City Industrial Development Agency cannot make proposals but can only entertain proposals.
