by New York State Public Service Commission
ALBANY, NY (06/01/2010)(readMedia)-- The New York State Public Service Commission will hold public statement hearings and otherwise seek public comments on cases concerning Joint Proposals for Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison) to increase its annual revenues for steam and gas services. On May 18, 2010, comprehensive Joint Proposals were filed by interested parties in each case for consideration by the Commission. The Joint Proposals recommend three-year rate plans for steam and gas services commencing October 1, 2010 and continuing through September 30, 2013.
The public statement hearings will be held on:
Yonkers: TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 2010, 1:30 p.m.

Steam Joint Proposal
The Joint Proposal in the steam rate case calls for a three-year rate plan with levelized annual increases of $49.5 million per year (7.01%, 6.52%, and 6.09%) on total revenues in Rate Years 1 through 3, respectively.
The Joint Proposal in the steam rate case also proposes to resolve an issue concerning the allocation of costs of the East River Repowering Project (ERRP) between the Company's electric and steam systems. The issue was most recently under consideration in Case 09-S-0029, the steam planning case, but was later consolidated for decision in the steam rate case.
The Joint Proposal recommends reallocating $7.5 million per year in ERRP fuel costs from the electric system to the steam system beginning in Rate Year 2 and continuing in Rate Year 3 and beyond, until changed by the Commission.
Gas Joint Proposal
The Joint Proposal in the gas rate case supports a three-year rate plan with annual increases of $47.1 million (2.4% on total bills, or 6.1% on delivery only), $47.9 million (2.3% on total bills, or 5.8% on delivery only), and $46.7 million (2.2% on total bills, or 5.3% on delivery only) in Rate Years 1 through 3, respectively.
The Commission may adopt the terms of the Joint Proposals in whole or in part, adopt alternative terms, or adopt terms concerning matters not addressed in the Joint Proposals.
Public Statement Hearings
It is not necessary to make an appointment in advance or to present written material in order to speak at a public statement hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Speakers will be called after completing a request card. All comments at the hearing will become part of the Commission's formal record for the case to which they pertain.
