Virtual Meeting Set For Review of Electric Vehicle Make-Ready Program |
||
ALBANY — The New York State Department of Public Service will hold a virtual meeting on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, to commence a formal mid-point review of the Make-Ready Programs run by the large investor-owned electric utilities. The purpose of the meeting is to inform stakeholders of the status of the Make-Ready Programs and the procedural process for the mid-point review.
On July 16, 2020, the Commission issued an order establishing the electric vehicle infrastructure Make-Ready Program and other programs in this proceeding which authorized $701 million to fund over 50,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2025. Among other things, the Public Service Commission directed Department staff to commence a formal mid-point review of the Make-Ready Programs run by the large investor-owned electric utilities.
The Commission stated that the mid-point review should, at a minimum, assess: 1) program budget and incentive levels; 2) the need for additional phases of the program; 3) redirecting unused program funding to multi-unit dwellings and workplaces or redefining the accessibility criteria to include multi-unit dwellings and workplaces; 4) revising the accessibility criteria, to include public pay-to-park lots; 5) recalibrating the 50 percent utility-funded, make-ready level for private and proprietary technology types; 6) revisiting future-proofing requirements and budgets; 7) reviewing implementation requirements and budgets; 8) utility ownership of charging station hardware; 9) emerging plug standards; 10) potential need for residential make-ready; 11) modifications to performance incentives.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE the commencement of the mid-point review and kickoff meeting will be held as follows:
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that stakeholders interested in the electric vehicle infrastructure Make-Ready Programs are invited to submit comments regarding the Make-Ready order and programs. Comments are not limited to these topics and commenters are encouraged to submit feedback on any area of the make-ready order and programs. Comments should be filed by October 3, 2022.
Comments or responses to the questions shall be filed in Case 18-E-0138 by e-filing through the Department’s Document and Matter Management System. If unable to file electronically, stakeholders may mail comments and responses to the questions to the Hon. Michelle L. Phillips, Secretary, Three Empire Plaza, Albany, New York 12223-1350.
