5/16/12 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-20-12-00007-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) met its 2011 performance standards under the Electric Service Reliability Performance Mechanism.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Con Edison's Report on 2011 Performance under Electric Service Reliability Performance Mechanism.
Purpose:
To consider whether Con Edison has met its performance standards as prescribed by the Commission in Con Edison's rate plan.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering whether to adopt, in whole or in part, to reject, or to take any other action with respect to Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) Report on 2011 Performance under Electric Service Reliability Performance Mechanism (2011 RPM Report). Specifically, the Commission will consider whether Con Edison has met all of the required performance standards set forth in the utility's rate plan. Con Edison states that a revenue adjustment of $9 million is not applicable for its failure to meet its network duration and network outages per 1000 customers threshold standards given that interruptions were caused by excludable overhead major storms that have impacted its network system. In addition, Con Edison states that a revenue adjustment of $5 million is not applicable for its failure to meet its radial duration threshold standard due to outages beyond its control. The utility states that it has met all the remaining performance metrics, which includes the radial frequency threshold standards, summer network feeder open automatics, major outages, radial restoration, pole repairs, shunt removals, no current streetlight and traffic signal repairs, remote monitoring system and over duty circuit breaker replacements.
