(NYISO) and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (Central Hudson) (together, Joint Filing Parties) submitted for filing an executed Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) entered into by NYISO, Central Hudson, and Hecate Energy Greene 2 LLC (Hecate) to facilitate the interconnection of Hecate’s 10 MW solar Greene County 2 Facility to the New York State Transmission System.[1] Joint Filing Parties state that the SGIA contains non-conforming language compared to the language contained in the pro forma SGIA in Attachment Z of the NYISO Open Access Transmission Tariff. Specifically, Joint Filing Parties state that Section 1.3.1 of the SGIA has been modified to provide that NYISO’s provision of Capacity Resource Interconnection Service is subject to the requirements that if System Deliverability Upgrades are identified in the Class Year Study, and Hecate accepts its cost allocation for such System Deliverability Upgrades, the SGIA will be amended to incorporate the results of the Class Year Study.

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 that have been or may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against NYISO or Central Hudson.
