FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

NOTICE OF EXTENSION OF TIME

(April 8, 2026)

 On March 20, 2026, the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) filed a motion in the above-captioned proceeding requesting that the Commission grant an additional 60-day extension of time to June 29, 2026, for the deadline to submit its compliance filing to demonstrate that it meets all of the requirements of Order No. 1920,[1] except those related to interregional transmission coordination.[2]  

NYISO states that good cause exists for granting the extension because NYISO has been working diligently with Relevant States Entities and other stakeholders in New York and has made substantial progress in developing revisions to its regional transmission planning process required by Order No. 1920.  NYISO states that the requested extension of time will improve NYISO’s compliance proposal by providing a short period of additional time for NYISO to complete its development of certain remaining compliance requirements and for Relevant State Entities and stakeholders to have adequate time to review and provide comments on these reforms.  NYISO further states that the requested extension of time will not delay NYISO’s implementation of the rules adopted in compliance with Order No. 1920 or prejudice any party’s interests.

The New York State Public Service Commission and New York Transmission Owners[3] filed answers in support of NYISO’s motion.

Upon consideration, NYISO’s request for extension of time is granted and the deadline for NYISO to submit its compliance filing to demonstrate that it meets all of the requirements of Order No. 1920, except those related to interregional transmission coordination, is extended to and including June 29, 2026.
