Reference: Amended and Restated Large Generator Interconnection Agreement

Dear Ms. Downey:

On October 1, 2014, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (Niagara Mohawk) filed an Amended and Restated Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (LGIA) between Niagara Mohawk and Selkirk Cogen Partners, L.P (Selkirk).[1] You state that the LGIA provides for the continued interconnection service to phase two of the Selkirk generating facility. You also state that the LGIA differs from the pro forma LGIA in that it is a two-party agreement between the transmission owner, National Grid, and the generating facility owner, Selkirk.

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 September 1, 2014, as requested.

The filing was noticed on October 1, 2014, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before October 22, 2014. Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2014)), 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 Niagara Mohawk.

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,

Daniel Nowak, Acting Director

Division of Electric Power Regulation – East
