Dear Ms. Keegan:

On June 14, 2017, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO), submitted a notice of cancellation of a Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) among NYISO, New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) as the connecting transmission owner, and Monticello Hills Wind LLC (Monticello).[1]  NYISO states that it tendered a withdrawal notice to Monticello, removing the Monticello Hills Project from the interconnection queue after failing to meet its Commercial Operation Date of March 18, 2017.

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 August 14, 2017, as requested.

The filing was noticed on June 14, 2017, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before July 5, 2017.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2017)), 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
