The Secretary of the New York PSC denied the request from the New York Retail Choice Coalition (NYRCC) for a further extension of the July 31, 2024, deadline for ESCOs and brokers to comply with new requirements related to brokers and consultants in New York, including a broker/consultant registration requirement, and a requirement for ESCOs to disclose to customers compensation paid to brokers/consultants.

NYRCC had sought an extension until the later of 60 days after the Albany Supreme Court has issued a ruling on an Article 78 Petition (appeal) that the NYRCC intends to file, or at least until August 31, 2024.

“No new or persuasive justification is provided in your July 3, 2024, request that would warrant granting an additional extension with respect to complying with these directives. Accordingly, please be advised that your request for an additional extension is denied.”

As such, the deadline for compliance with Ordering Clauses 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9 of the April 2024 order on rehearing remains July 31, 2024.

The PSC in June only granted an extension for ESCO and broker compliance under the April 18, 2024, broker regulation rehearing order until July 31, 2024.

As reported previously, on June 10, 2024 the PSC extended the deadlines in its Rehearing Order concerning the Registration of Energy Brokers and Energy Consultants. The June 17, 2024, deadline for energy brokers and consultants to submit their first annual registration packages and the deadline to make UBP revisions is now July 31and DPS’ deadline to review initial registration packages and notify applicants was also extended from December 2 to December 31, 2024.
