Reference:              Small Generator Interconnection Agreement

Dear Ms. Keegan & Mr. Chier:

On August 6, 2012, you filed, on behalf of the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) and New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG), an executed Small Generator Interconnection Agreement.[1] You explain that Broome Energy Resources, LLC (Broome) is the Interconnection Customer and that the facility will be upgraded from a capacity of 2.4 MW to 4.1 MW by changing out and replacing old generating equipment. You also explain that the Interconnection Agreement substantially conforms to the NYISO’s pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Agreement, but that modifications are necessary to reflect unique circumstances surrounding Broome’s request for interconnection service (i.e., Energy Resource Interconnection Service only). Because the facility will be studied for Energy Resource Interconnection Service only, the facility’s Capacity Resource Interconnection Service (CRIS) will continue to be limited to 2.1 MW unless or until the CRIS value is modified pursuant to the applicable provisions of NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff.

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power

Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. §375.307, your submittal is accepted for filing, effective July 26, 2012, as requested.

The filing was noticed on August 7, 2012, with comments, interventions and protests due on or before August 27, 2012.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2012)), to the extent that any timely filed motions to intervene and any motion to intervene out-of-time were filed before the issuance date of this order, such interventions are granted.  Granting late interventions at this stage of the proceeding will not disrupt the proceeding or place additional burdens on existing parties. 

This acceptance for filing shall not be construed as constituting approval of the referenced filing or of any rate, charge, classification, or any rule, regulation, or practice affecting such rate or service contained in your filing; nor shall such acceptance be deemed as recognition of any claimed contractual right or obligation associated therewith; and such acceptance is without prejudice to any findings or orders which have been or may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against the NYISO or NYSEG.

This order constitutes final agency action.  Requests for rehearing by the Commission may be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this order, pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 385.713.

Sincerely,

Jignasa Gadani, Director
