New York Municipal Power Agency

Case 24-E-0463

NOTICE OF PROPOSED TARIFF REVISION

Please take notice that the New York Municipal Power Agency, on behalf of Village of Spencerport has requested authorization to increase the charge to our customers used to support the Independent Energy Efficiency Program, Inc. (“IEEP”) from 1 mil (1/1000 of a dollar) per kWh to 2 mils per kWh.  This proposal, now under review before the New York State Public Service Commission (“Commission”), would increase the average overall bill by approximately $8–$16 per year.  After due deliberation, at a May 21, 2024 meeting, the IEEP Board of Directors determined that this increase is necessary and voted to increase the funding level from 1 to 2 mils per kWh.  Even after the increase, your rates will remain some of the lowest in the state.

The IEEP has been able to produce laudable results without increasing the program’s funding for nearly 20 years.  However, due to many factors, an increase in funding is now necessary.  Inflation has caused construction costs to increase dramatically since the IEEP’s funding mechanism was established.  A decision to raise rates is never taken lightly.  The proposed rates, as approved by the governing board of the IEEP was determined to be the minimum required to continue to provide and expand the suite of program offerings to best serve our customers. 

The filing before the Commission is available online at the Department of Public Service website, www.dps.ny.gov, by clicking on “File Search” (located under the heading “Commission Files”) and entering “24-E-0463” in the box labelled “Search by Case Number.”  If you wish to comment on the proposal, you can reach out to us at: Village of Spencerport www.vil.spencerport.ny.us.  If you would like to comment to the Commission directly, you can go to www.dps.ny.gov, click on “File Search” (located under the heading “Commission Files”), enter “24-E-0463” in the box labelled “Search by Case Number,” and then click on “Post Comments” located at the top right of the page.

New York Municipal Power Agency

Case 24-E-0498

NOTICE OF PROPOSED GENERIC TARIFF REVISIONS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the New York Municipal Power Agency (“NYMPA”) that on September 4, 2024, it issued and filed with the New York State Public Service Commission (“Commission”) Tariff leaves to amend its Schedule for Electric Service, P.S.C. No. 1, Electricity to become effective January 1, 2025.

These proposed changes to General Information and Rider A are corrections to regulation references or numbering that will not impact customers.

Proposed Riders B and C to NYMPA’s Generic Tariff are discussed in more detail below. The Village of Spencerport is governed by the Generic Tariff and will have the option to adopt the Riders as Addenda to its individual tariff. Even after the proposed Riders become effective in the Generic Tariff, they would not impact Village of Spencerport’s Customers unless and until The Village of Spencerport adopts the Riders.

The Village of Spencerport has not yet determined if it plans on adopting either of the Riders into its tariff. If The Village of Spencerport chooses to adopt either or both of the Riders, it will provide further notice to its Customers in compliance with the Public Service Law and its regulations.

• Rider B – Outdoor Lighting Service Class: This proposed Rider would add a Service Class for outdoor LED streetlights and includes a proposed formula to recover associated costs. LED streetlights are now standard, and Rider B will simply reflect the costs of providing the service.
• Rider C – Purchase of Renewable Energy from New Distributed Generators: This proposed Rider would create a first-come, first-served program for residential and non-residential customers who own or operate electric generating equipment located and used at their premises, including solar or solar combined with energy storage. The program includes formulas for determining customer charges and credits, which will reflect the utility’s avoided costs. Specific limits on interconnected generation will be set if and when The Village of Spencerport decides to adopt the rider.
