On February 2, 2022, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) and Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (Niagara Mohawk) (together, Joint Filing Parties) filed an Amended and Restated Small Generator Interconnection Agreement (SGIA) among the NYISO, Niagara Mohawk, and Sky High Solar LLC (Sky High) (Amended Agreement).[1] Joint Filing Parties state that the Amended Agreement supersedes the SGIA among the parties that was previously accepted by the Commission in Docket No. ER21-474-000.[2]  Joint Filing Parties further state that the amendments (i) reflect updated milestone dates; (ii) update Sky High’s contact information; (iii) correct typographical errors; and (iv) clarify that Niagara Mohawk will perform certain work on Sky High’s side of the Point of Change of Ownership. Joint Filing Parties request that the Amended Agreement be made effective as of January 19, 2022. 

 

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307, the submittal is accepted for filing, effective January 19, 2022, as requested.[3]  

 

The filing was publicly noticed, with interventions and protests due on or before February 23, 2022.  Pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission’s regulations (18 C.F.R. § 385.214), notices of intervention, timely-filed motions to intervene, and any unopposed motions to intervene out-of-time filed before the issuance date of this order are granted.  Granting a late intervention 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 action does not constitute approval of any service, rate, charge, classification, or any rule, regulation, contract, or practice affecting such rate or service provided for in the filed document(s); nor shall such action be deemed as recognition of any claimed contractual right or obligation affecting or relating to such service or rate; and such action is without prejudice to any findings or orders which have been or may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against NYISO or Niagara Mohawk.

 

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.
