Reference: Executed Small Generator Interconnection Agreement
On September 13, 2021, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) and New York Power Authority (NYPA) (together, Joint Filing Parties) filed an executed two-party Standard Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) for the North Country Energy Storage project entered into by NYISO and NYPA, with NYPA as both the Connecting Transmission Owner and Interconnection Customer.[1] Joint Filing Parties state that the SGIA is labeled as Service Agreement No. 2648 under NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). Joint Filing Parties also state that the SGIA is based upon NYISO’s three-party pro forma SGIA that is contained in Attachment Z to the OATT, as modified to reflect that there are only two parties to the SGIA. Joint Filing Parties request that the SGIA be accepted for filing effective August 27, 2021.
Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307 (2020), your submittal is accepted for filing, effective August 27, 2021, as requested.[2]
The filing was publicly noticed on September 13, 2021, with interventions and protests due on or before October 4, 2021. Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2020)), 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. No protests or adverse comments were filed.
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 NYPA.
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 (2020).
