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 The Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY to revise certain tariff provisions in its gas tariff schedule, PSC No. 12, pertaining to service to temperature controlled and interruptible customers.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 65 and 66
Subject:
Temperature Controlled and Interruptible Provisions.
Purpose:
To consider proposed revisions to tariff provisions related to temperature controlled and interruptible customers.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering a proposal filed by The Brooklyn Union Gas Company d/b/a National Grid NY (KEDNY) to revise certain tariff provisions in its gas tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 12, related to service provided to temperature controlled and interruptible customers. KEDNY proposes to change the temperature index for temperature controlled customers from the National Weather Service at Central Park to the National Weather Service at LaGuardia Airport. KEDNY also proposes revisions to provide that interruptible customers may remain on gas in the following circumstances: (1) when peaking supplies are dispatched ratably across a weekend and/or holiday with varying temperatures above and below 15° F; and (2) when peaking supplies are dispatched based on a day ahead call option and actual temperatures are higher than forecast. In all cases, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and non-ratable peaking supplies will be minimized to preserve winter deliverability. The proposed amendments have an effective date of December 1, 2016. The Commission may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
