New York Association of Public Power (Complainant) v. Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, The New York Independent System, Operator, Inc. (Respondents); Notice of Complaint
Take notice that on February 6, 2014, pursuant to section 206 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206 and section and 206 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824(e), the New York Association of Public Power (NYAPP) filed a formal complaint against Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) and The New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) alleging that, NMPC's use of an 11.5 percent return on common equity (ROE) in calculating rates for transmission services under the NYISO's Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) rate is unjust and unreasonable. NYAPP requests the Commission issue an order to reduce the 11.5 percent ROE used in calculating rates for transmission service under the NYISO's OATT to a just and reasonable level of 9.46 percent, inclusive of a 50 basis point adder for participation in the NYISO, with a corresponding overall weighted cost of capital of 6.60 percent.
The NYAPP certifies that copies of the complaint were served on the contacts of NMPC and the NYISO as listed on the Commission's list of Corporate Officials.
