NYS Public Service Commission seeks comment on community distributed generation projects

The New York State Public Service Commission is seeking public comment on a report recommending options to create additional opportunities for customers to participate in Community Distributed Generation (CDG) projects.

CDG projects allow renewable energy to be generated in more places.

The report recommends expanding CDG projects within utility territories where previously authorized incentives for distributed solar have been fully subscribed. This includes Orange & Rockland and Central Hudson, where more than 190 megawatts of CDG are already in service. The PSC report recommends increasing this by about 100 megawatts with new projects split between Orange & Rockland and Central Hudson.

The report also recommends that existing market transition credits be enhanced and standardized across upstate utility territories so that more electric customers in these areas can meet their energy needs through participation in a CDG project. The enhanced credits would be available to more than 700 megawatts of new projects. The report also recommends adjustments to market transition credits available in Con Edison for almost 400 MW of new CDG projects.

The public can view the report online at www.dps.ny.gov, under case number “15-E- 0751 or 15-E-0082.” Comments can also be posted on that page.

Public comment on the report ends on Monday, Oct. 22.
