Reference:Proposed Enhancements to the Competitive Entry Exemption

 

On December 20, 2019, as amended on February 7, 2020, New York System Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed revisions to its Market Administration and Control Services Tariff to implement three enhancements to the existing Competitive Entry Exemption (CEE).[1]  You state that the revisions:  (1) expand the scope of the CEE to encompass Additional Capacity Resource Interconnection Service megawatts; (2) allow suppliers that enter into certain short-term hedging contracts to remain eligible to obtain a CEE; and (3) clarify the consequences to CEE applicants that withdraw a CEE request or provide false or misleading information to NYISO with regard to a CEE request.

 

Pursuant to the authority delegated to the Director, Division of Electric Power Regulation – East, under 18 C.F.R. § 375.307, your submittal is accepted for filing, as requested.

 

The filing was noticed on December 20, 2019, and February 7, 2020, with comments, interventions, and protests due on or before January 10, 2020, and February 28, 2020, respectively.  Pursuant to Rule 214 (18 C.F.R. § 385.214 (2019)), 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 which have been or may hereafter be made by the Commission in any proceeding now pending or hereafter instituted by or against NYISO.

 

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.
