Village of Hastings-on-Hudson, NY / Part II: General Legislation
Chapter 110 Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson 10-20-2015 by L.L. No. 6-2015. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Green Building Code — See Ch. 160.
It is the policy of both the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson and the State of New York to reduce costs and provide cost certainty for the purpose of economic development, to promote deeper penetration of energy efficiency and renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar, and wider deployment of distributed energy resources as well as to examine the retail energy markets and increase participation of and benefits for residential and small commercial customers in those markets. Among the policies and models that may offer benefits in New York is community choice aggregation (CCA), which allows local governments to determine the default supplier of electricity and natural gas on behalf of its residential and small commercial customers.
The purpose of this CCA Program is to allow participating local governments, including the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson, to procure energy supply service for their residential and small commercial customers, who will have the opportunity to opt out of the procurement, while maintaining transmission and distribution service from the existing distribution utility. This chapter establishes a program that will allow the Village to put out for bid the total amount of natural gas and/or electricity being purchased by local residential and small commercial customers. Bundled customers will have the opportunity to have more control to lower their overall energy costs, to spur clean energy innovation and investment, to improve customer choice and value, and to protect the environment, thereby, fulfilling the purposes of this chapter and fulfilling an important public purpose.
The Village of Hastings-on-Hudson is authorized to implement this Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program pursuant to § 10, Subdivision 1(ii)(a)(12), of the New York Municipal Home Rule Law and State of New York Public Service Commission Case No. 14-M-0564, Petition of Sustainable Westchester for Expedited Approval for the Implementation of a Pilot Community Choice Aggregation Program within the County of Westchester, Order Granting Petition in Part (issued February 26, 2015), as may be amended, including subsequent orders of the Public Service Commission issued in connection with or related to Case No. 14-M-0564 (collectively, the "Order"). "Order" shall also mean orders of the Public Service Commission related to State of New York Public Service Commission Case No. 14-M-0224, Proceeding on Motion of the Commission to Enable Community Choice Aggregation Programs (issued December 15, 2104) to the extent that orders related to Case No. 14-M-0224 enable actions by the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson not otherwise permitted pursuant to orders related to Case No. 14-M-0564; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between orders from Case No. 14-M-0564 and orders from Case No 14-M-0224, orders from Case No 14-M-0564 shall govern the CCA Program.
This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program Law of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson."
A municipal energy procurement program, which replaces the incumbent utility as the default supplier for all bundled customers within the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson.
Energy service companies (ESCOs) that procure electric power and natural gas for bundled customers in connection with this chapter, or alternatively, generators of electricity and natural gas or other entities who procure and resell electricity or natural gas.
A Community Choice Aggregation (Energy) Program is hereby established by the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson, whereby the Village shall work together with Sustainable Westchester to implement the CCA Program to the full extent permitted by the Order, as set forth more fully herein. The Village's role under the CCA Program involves the aggregating of the electric and/or natural gas supply of its residents and the entering into a contract with one or more suppliers for supply and services. Under the CCA Program, the operation and ownership of the utility service shall remain with the distribution utility.
The Village's participation in a CCA Program constitutes neither the purchase of a public utility system, nor the furnishing of utility service. The Village will not take over any part of the electric or gas transmission or distribution system and will not furnish any type of utility service but will instead negotiate with suppliers on behalf of participating residential and small commercial customers.
In order to implement the CCA Program, the Village will adopt one or more resolutions that outline the process of and conditions for participation in the CCA Program, including but not limited to signing a contract for a compliant bid with one or more suppliers, all as consistent with the local law and the Order.
As permitted by the Order, the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson may request from the distribution utilities aggregated customer information by fuel type and service classification on a rolling basis.
Sustainable Westchester, on behalf of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson, shall issue one or more requests for proposals to suppliers to provide energy to participants and may then award a contract in accordance with the CCA Program.
Sustainable Westchester or the Village, if the Village so chooses, will then request individual customer data from the distribution utility in accordance with the CCA Program.
Sustainable Westchester or the Village, if the Village so chooses, and the selected supplier will then notify bundled customers of the contract terms and their opportunity to opt out of the CCA Program at no cost.
In accordance with and for purposes of the Order, the existing distribution utility, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., will provide to Sustainable Westchester aggregate and customer-specific data (including usage data, capacity tag obligations, account numbers, and service addresses) of all bundled customers in the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson.
Sustainable Westchester and the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson will protect customer information as required by law, subject to the Order and the limitations of the New York State Freedom of Information Law.
The Village of Hastings-on-Hudson or in conjunction with the ESCO will notify its residential and small commercial customers, by letter notice, of the Village's decision to establish the CCA Program, of the contract terms with an ESCO, and of the opportunity to opt out of the CCA Program.
The opt-out period shall be 20 days.
