(NYISO) filed revisions to its Market Administration and Control Area Services Tariff to to clarify that municipally owned electric systems created by local governments are eligible for the self-supply exemption.[2] NYISO proposes several minor changes to the definition of Self Supply LSE to eliminate any potential inconsistencies identified by the Commission in its April 29, 2021 Order.
