Reference: Notice of Cancellation

Dear Ms. Keegan:

On May 18, 2017, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), submitted a notice of cancellation of a Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) among NYISO, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, and Green Power Energy LLC (Green Power).[1]  NYISO states that due to the lack of progress against the milestones, it informed Green Power on February 17, 2017 that its interconnection request for the project was withdrawn because the project failed to make the requisite demonstration of reasonable progress against the applicable milestones.

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 17, 2017, as requested.

The filing was noticed on May 18, 2017, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before June 8, 2017.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2016)), 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.

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,

Kurt M. Longo, Director

Division of Electric Power
