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 an April 26, 2011 petition filed by New York State Research and Development Authority to modify an order issued October 18, 2011 in Cases 07-M-0548 et al. regarding the treatment of certain types of equipment replacements.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(2) and 66(1)
Subject:
NYSERDA's energy efficiency program for low-income customers.
Purpose:
To promote energy conservation in New York State.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether to grant, deny or modify, in whole or in part, or to take other action regarding a petition filed on April 26, 2011 by the New York State Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in the Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS) proceeding, Cases 07-M-0548 et al. The petition requests modification to the Public Service Commission’s October 18, 2010 Order that established a type of equipment replacement treatment for energy efficiency programs, “the special circumstance” replacement, that applies only to programs for commercial and industrial customers and multifamily buildings. Through its petition, NYSERDA proposes that this special circumstance treatment also be extended to energy efficiency projects for low-income customers funded through NYSERDA’s EmPower New York Program. A Commission decision here may be applied to other EEPS programs.
