Con Edison Proposes Changes to its Electric and PASNY Tariffs for Standby Service

Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (“Con Edison” or the “Company”) has filed with the New York State Public Service Commission (the “Commission”) proposed changes to its electric rate schedule, P.S.C. No. 10 – Electricity (“Electric Tariff”) and its PASNY delivery service rate schedule, P.S.C. No. 12 – Electricity (“PASNY Tariff”).

Pursuant to General Rule 20.2.1(B)(8) of the Electric Tariff, customers served under either the Electric Tariff or PASNY Tariff may use their on-site generation, sized over 2 MW and connected to the high-tension distribution system, to supply two or more of their accounts located at a single premises. The Company proposes to expand that General Rule to allow a customer to use its generator to supply its own account(s) as well as the account(s) of one or more other customers located in the same building. The Company also proposes to make other tariff changes, including modifying the Electric Tariff’s Application Form G for distributed generation and the PASNY Tariff’s rules for standby service.

The filing, which is subject to Commission review and approval, is proposed to become effective on July 21, 2016. A complete copy of the filing is available for your inspection at the office of the Commission, 90 Church Street, 4th floor, New York, New York 10007, and at offices where applications for Con Edison service may be made.
