Transportation Service Under Service Classification (SC) Nos. 7 and 14

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 filing by KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid proposing modifications to add and clarify provisions related to electric generators that take transportation service under Service Classification Nos. 7 and 14.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, section 66(12)

Subject:

Transportation service under Service Classification (SC) Nos. 7 and 14.

Purpose:

To modify and clarify provisions related to electric generators that take transportation service under SC Nos. 7 and 14.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Commission is considering whether to approve, modify or reject, in whole or in part, a proposal filed by KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a National Grid (the Company) to modify its gas tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 1 – Gas. The Company proposes to make modifications to add and clarify provisions related to electric generators that take transportation service under Service Classification No. 7 – Interruptible Transportation Service (SC 7) and Service Classification No. 14 – Non-Core Transportation Service for Electric Generation (SC 14). Specifically, the Company proposes to: (1) modify its tariff to enable a customer taking transportation service under SC 7 and/or SC 14 to balance gas deliveries on an aggregated basis to one or more of the customer’s electric generating facilities to mitigate daily imbalances and the associated daily balancing charge; (2) modify the SC 14 daily balancing charges and provisions to use published indices to set cash out prices and to revise the cash out tolerances and percentages of the cash out tiers; and (3) clarify provisions regarding the applicability of a $100 per dth penalty charge for unauthorized overruns following an operational flow order. The filing has a proposed effective date of June 1, 2013. The Commission may resolve related matters and may apply its decision here to other companies.
