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 proposal filed by Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY (KEDNY) to make various changes to the rates, charges, rules and regulations contained in its Schedule for Gas Service P.S.C. No. 12.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Revisions to various provisions related to electric generators.
Purpose:
To modify various provisions related to electric generators in KEDNY's tariff.
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 The Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY (KEDNY) to amend its tariff to further clarify provisions related to electric generators that take service under Service Classification No. 1B-DG – Residential Heating Distributed Generation Service (SC 1B-DG), Service Classification No. 4A – High Load Factor Service (SC 4A), Service Classification No. 6 – Temperature Controlled Service (SC 6), Service Classification No. 18 – Non-Core Transportation Service (SC 18), Service Classification No. 20 – Non-Core Transportation Service for Electric Generation (SC 20) and Service Classification No. 21 – Baseload Distributed Generation Sales Service (SC 21). KEDNY proposes to (a) revise SC 1B-DG, SC 4A, SC 6 and SC 21 to allow customers to supply electricity they generate to the local electric utility; (b) clarify that SC 21 is applicable to distributed generation customers and remove the requirement that customers certify that they are using qualifying cogeneration equipment; (c) include a new provision to cap the overall transportation rate changed to customers taking service under SC 20 and SC 18 to no greater than the otherwise applicable interruptible transportation rate; and (d) reduce the Value Added Charge to the extent necessary to remain within the cap. The proposed amendments have an effective date of August 1, 2015.
