    I.D No. PSC-39-16-00023-P
    Clean Energy Standard
    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 petition seeking rehearing of its August 1, 2016 Order Adopting a Clean Energy Standard filed on September 1, 2016 by ReEnergy Holdings, LLC.
    Statutory authority:
    Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(1)(2) and 66(2); Energy Law, section 6-104(5)(b)
    Subject:
    Clean Energy Standard.
    Purpose:
    To promote and maintain renewable and zero-emission electric energy resources.
    Substance of proposed rule:
    The Public Service Commission is considering a petition filed on September 1, 2016 by ReEnergy Holdings, LLC (ReEnergy) that requests rehearing of the Commission’s August 1, 2016 Order Adopting a Clean Energy Standard (CES Order). ReEnergy argues that the Commission’s decision on existing renewable resources was not supported in the record and relied on two erroneous factual assumptions: that existing renewable resources do not have high going-forward costs and are not at imminent risk of exporting to other regions. ReEnergy requests that the Commission reconsider implementing Tier 2A as described in Staff’s White Paper. The Commission may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the relief proposed and may resolve related matters.
