Dear Mr. Novak:
On July 27, 2018, as amended on August 1, 2018, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (Niagara Mohawk) submitted a notice of cancellation[1] of an interconnection agreement (IA) between Niagara Mohawk and the Village of Ilion (Ilion).[2] You state that Niagara Mohawk is cancelling the IA because it has been superseded by a new interconnection agreement among Niagara Mohawk and Ilion.
