Commission Adopts Two Community Distributed Generation Metrics
The New York Public Service Commission (PSC) adopts two community distributed generation metrics including a mandated utility billing credit response time and a $10 bill refund if the bill is not furnished within a specified time period.
The Commission ordered that Staff must file templates for the quarterly and annual reporting by August 1, 2025, and Staff must convene a stakeholder conference by August 16, 2025.
The utilities must: (1) implement the billing credit timeliness and utility response time to host allocation lists metrics by January 1, 2026; (2) implement a $10 credit for community distributed generation subscribers whose bill is not furnished within 75 days of the end of the host’s billing period by September 15, 2025; (3) file updated implementation costs based on the metrics; (4) file quarterly report updates beginning January 1, 2026; (5) file annual reports for each calendar year ending 12/31 beginning 3/31/27; and (6) the utilities are directed to make tariff filings to effectuate the community distributed generation metrics and associated negative revenue adjustments, and the $10 per month bill credit related to timely bill crediting.
