The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) today commenced a proceeding to take a hard look at developing cutting-edge regulatory policies that will be needed to encourage the development of the smart grid and the overall modernization of the electric grid.
“The smart grid and the modernization of the electric grid hold great potential for the state’s ratepayers,” said Commission Chairman Garry Brown. “However, the Commission must be very thoughtful and deliberate before it decides whether to invest ratepayer money in the smart grid over the next decade. This proceeding will help us discover the opportunities and pitfalls that might exist.”
