9/24/14 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-38-14-00018-P
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 options to modify its regulation of electric utilities by implementing reliability-based demand response programs that could respond to local and bulk power needs.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1) and 66(1)
Subject:
New electric utility demand response tariffs may be adopted.
Purpose:
To develop mature DER markets by enabling the development and use of DR as an economic system resource.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Commission is considering whether to adopt, modify, or reject, in whole or in part, potential modifications in its regulation of New York State's electric industry to enable the increase of demand response programs in accordance with the recommendations made in the August 22, 2014 New York State Department of Public Service Report entitled "Developing the REV Market in New York: DPS Staff Straw Proposal on Track One Issues" filed in Case 14-M-0101. In particular, the Commission is considering adopting demand response tariffs for all electric utility service territories in the state that will allow demand response providers, interfacing with the distribution utilities, to respond to bulk power system needs currently addressed by the NYISO’s Special Case Resource and Emergency Demand Response Programs.
