ALBANY — The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) announced today that it was seeking comment on a Department of Public Service report recommending options to create additional opportunities for customers to participate in Community Distributed Generation (CDG) projects. The objective of CDG programs is to open participation in renewable energy to those previously blocked from participating.
In the report, Department staff recommend expanding opportunity for customers to participate in 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 or in advanced stages of development. Staff propose making increased upfront incentives available to about 100 megawatts of new projects split between Orange & Rockland and Central Hudson, in order to nurture continued market growth while managing overall costs.
With the issuance of the report the Commission sought public comment, concurrently Department staff continued to work with interested stakeholders to develop final recommendations for Commission consideration. The comment period on the report ends on October 22, 2018.
