4/24/13 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-17-13-00009-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 whether to grant, modify or deny a tariff filing by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. proposing revisions to its gas tariff schedule to establish a New York City Clean Heat Area Growth Program.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66(12)
Subject:
New York City Clean Heat Area Growth Program.
Purpose:
To grant, modify or deny a petition to establish a New York City Clean Heat Area Growth Program.
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 Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) to establish a New York City Clean Heat Area Growth Program. The tariff modification is to facilitate customer participation in the New York City Clean Heat Program on a cost-effective basis for new and existing gas customers. Con Edison may establish one or more temporary “Area Growth Zones” under an Area Growth Program within its New York City gas service territory, in conjunction with the New York City Clean Heat Program, which requires the phasing out of the use of No. 6 and No. 4 fuel oils for heating by 2015 and 2030, respectively. Under the Area Growth Program, main extension and service line charges for gas service in an Area Growth Zone may be waived for oil-to-gas heat conversion applicants if certain conditions are met. The amendments have an effective date of July 1, 2013. The Commission may apply its decision here to other utilities.
