Issued:  April 5, 2023

On February 21, 2023, New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) submitted proposed revisions to its Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT)[1] to align the development, funding, and cost recovery provisions of certain Network Upgrade Facilities identified through NYISO’s Transmission Interconnection Procedures under Attachment P to the OATT with the associated Public Policy Transmission Project that is selected as the more efficient or cost effective solution in NYISO’s Public Policy Transmission Planning Process (Public Policy Process). NYISO explains that the proposed revisions also enhance the procedures in the Public Policy Process related to the designation of project components.
