2/17/16 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-07-16-00021-P
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 by New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) to collect previously ordered System Benefits Charge funding for natural gas Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard programs for 2012 through 2018.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5(2), 65(1) and 66(1)
Subject:
NYSEG's request to collect funding for natural gas Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard programs.
Purpose:
To consider NYSEG's request to collect funding for natural gas Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard programs.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering the petition filed on January 26, 2016 by New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG). The petition seeks approval to collect previously ordered System Benefits Charge (SBC) funding for natural gas Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS) programs for 2012 through 2018. NYSEG’s states that its SBC collections match the Commission’s October 2011 Order Authorizing Efficiency Programs, Revising Incentive Mechanism, and Establishing a Surcharge Schedule (October 2011 Order). However NYSEG did not increase SBC collections in accordance with a subsequent errata notice issued on June 18, 2012 (Errata). NYSEG requests approval to collect $4.9 million as part of the SBC surcharge over a 48 month period beginning June 1, 2016. The collection would match additional funds specified in the Errata. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the relief requested and may resolve related matters.
