Substance of proposed rule: The Long Island Power Authority (“LIPA”) staff (“Staff”) proposes to modify LIPA’s Tariff for Electric Service (the “Tariff”), effective January 1, 2027, to establish a LIPA-administered, performance-based Retail Storage Performance Component under LIPA’s Value of Distributed Energy Resources (“VDER”) program to encourage the development of retail energy storage projects (“Projects”) within LIPA’s service territory. This program will replace LIPA’s participation in NewYorkStateEnergyResearchandDevelopmentAuthority’s(“NYSER- DA’s”) statewide retail storage incentive program in the near-term. The proposed Retail Storage Performance Component provides a cost- effective mechanism to support retail energy storage deployment on Long Island while aligning customer-funded incentives with measurable electric system benefits. The proposal advances New York State’s storage objec- tives, maintains compatibility with the VDER framework, and is expected to provide value to LIPAcustomers. The LIPA Board may adopt, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed, the commenters’ proposed programmatic changes, including recommendation(s) submitted by the New York State Depart- ment of Public Service, and may resolve related matters. Text of proposed rule and any required statements and analyses may be obtained from: William Wai, Long Island Power Authority, 333 Earle Ovington Blvd., Ste. 403, Uniondale, NY 11553, (516) 222-7700, email: tariffchanges@lipower.org Data, views or arguments may be submitted to: Same as above.
