Dear Ms. Zimberlin:
On December 8, 2017, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff[1] to comply with the Commission’s November 9, 2017 Order in the above-referenced proceeding.[2] NYISO explains that the proposed tariff revisions will: (i) ensure that NYISO will not permit Incremental Energy Bids that exceed $1000/MWh or Minimum Generation Bids that exceed $1000/MWh, or any combination of the two types of bids, to include adders above cost that exceed $100/MWh; and (ii) make verified opportunity costs eligible for recovery after-the-fact through a Bid Production Cost Guarantee payment. The tariff revisions satisfactorily comply with the requirements of the November 9, 2017 Order and Order Nos. 831 and 831-A.[3]
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, as requested. In accordance with the requirements of the November 9, 2017 Order, NYISO will submit a filing providing no less than two weeks’ notice of the effective date of the tariff revisions.
The filing was noticed on December 8, 2017 with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before December 29, 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.
