Reference:Amended and Restated Small Generator Interconnection Agreement

On May 14, 2021, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) and New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) (together, the Joint Filing Parties) submitted for filing an executed Amended and Restated Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (Amended SGIA) entered into by NYISO, NYSEG, and Puckett Solar, LLC (Puckett), designated as Service Agreement No. 2545 under NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT).[1]  The Joint Filing Parties state that the Amended SGIA conforms to the language in the pro forma SGIA contained in Attachment Z of the NYISO OATT with limited non-conforming exceptions previously accepted by the Commission for the prior version of the SGIA.[2]  The Joint Filing Parties explain that the revisions reflect changes to the inverters for Puckett’s solar facility.

The filing was noticed on May 14, 2021, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before June 4, 2021.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214), 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 that have been or may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against the Joint Filing Parties.

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.
