I.D No. PSC-18-13-00007-P

Whether Demand Energy Networks Energy Storage Systems Should be Designated Technologies for Standby Rate Eligibility Purposes

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, deny or modify, in whole or in part the petition of Demand Energy Networks seeking tariff amendments to allow its energy storage systems to be "designated technologies" for standby service from Con Edison.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, sections 2, 5, 64, 65, 66(1), (12)(a), (b) and (e)

Subject:

Whether Demand Energy Networks energy storage systems should be designated technologies for standby rate eligibility purposes.

Purpose:

Whether Demand Energy Networks energy storage systems should be designated technologies for standby rate eligibility purposes.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Commission is considering whether to grant, deny or modify, in whole or in part the petition of Demand Energy Networks (DEN) seeking amendments to the electric tariff of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. that would allow its energy storage systems to be treated as "designated technologies" so that its customers may take standby electric service. DEN states its systems store energy in deep cycle rechargeable batteries, and return that energy through either an induction generator or a UL1741 listed solid state power conversion system.
