Dear Ms. Keegan and Mr. Rosenbloom:
On March 6, 2015, you filed an executed Amended and Restated Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) (Amended Agreement) between the New York System Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (RG&E) (collectively Filing Parties).[1] The Filing Parties state that the Amended Agreement supersedes the Original Agreement,[2] and reflects modifications to RG&E’s Brown’s Race hydropower facility, inter alia, to relocate the point of interconnection and expand the facility from 8.5 MW to 14.8MW.
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 February 19, 2015, as requested.
The filing was noticed on March 6, 2015, with comments, interventions and protests due on or before March 27, 2015. 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 NYISO or RG&E.
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,
