Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 39, September 25, 2024
(a) For forecast and historic data on deliveries, natural gas supply requirements and prices:
(1) By utility service area and
statewide if available, the estimated monthly and annual in-state natural gas
deliveries, winter season deliveries and peak day deliveries by end-use or
customer classifications (in tabular and graphic files, in formats deemed
appropriate by the board), specifically identifying the extent to which energy
efficiency measures, fuel switching, and the sale of natural gas directly to
end-users has been incorporated within such forecasts. Natural gas data may be
requested for the categories stated below:
(i) firm demand, specifying total residential
deliveries, total commercial deliveries, total industrial deliveries, total
electric generation deliveries, total natural gas vehicle sales, total
out-of-state sales, total public authority deliveries other deliveries, and
lost and unaccounted for natural gas;
(ii) interruptible demand, specifying total
residential deliveries, total commercial deliveries, total industrial
deliveries, total electric generation deliveries, total natural gas vehicle
sales, total out-of-state sales, total public authority deliveries, other
deliveries, and lost and unaccounted for natural gas;
(iii) transportation customer deliveries,
specifying total residential deliveries, total commercial deliveries, total
industrial deliveries, total electric generation deliveries, total public
authority deliveries, and other deliveries;
(iv) deliveries for injection and
liquefaction requirements; and
(v)
the average monthly number of customers by the customer classes in total
residential volumes, total commercial volumes, total industrial volumes, total
electric generation volumes, total natural gas vehicle volumes, total
out-of-state volumes, total public authority volumes, other volumes, and, if
applicable, lost and unaccounted for natural gas.
(2) A forecast of natural gas supply
requirements over the planning period, statewide and by utility service area,
specifically identifying the amounts of natural gas needed to meet severe
weather conditions, lost and unaccounted for natural gas, out-of-state sales
commitments and use within the State. This information should be provided for
peak day, winter season, and annual load, both for normal weather and design
weather.
(3) A description of the
load forecasting methodology and the assumptions and data used in the
preparation of the forecasts, specifically including projections of demographic
and economic activity and such other factors, statewide and by service area,
which may influence demand for natural gas, the bases for such projections, and
conversions to natural gas from other supply sources and expansion of
distribution. The description shall include the source of the weather data,
including years of data used, and a description of the calculation of peak day
load.
(4) End-user and city gate
natural gas prices by monthly and annual sales, a projection of estimated
end-user and city gate natural gas prices for the planning period; and a
description of the methodology and assumptions used to develop the foregoing
projection of estimated prices.
(5)
A detailed description of the methodology and assumptions used to develop the
projection of estimated prices.
(b) For natural gas inventory and supply assessment:
(1) Projected supplies of natural
gas by monthly and annual sendout, for each of the categories identified below:
(i) total firm supply and capacity, including
monthly (if applicable), annual and seasonal, storage, and other;
(ii) total interruptible supply and capacity,
including released firm transportation and interruptible
transportation;
(iii) total company
sources, including LNG, liquefied petroleum gas/air (including propane), and
other;
(iv) total transportation of
customer natural gas, including firm and interruptible; and
(v) total appropriate deductions.
(2) An inventory of:
(i) all existing supply sources, storage
facilities, and transmission facilities used to provide service within the
State;
(ii) transmission and
storage facilities under construction which would be used to provide service
within the State, including their costs (projected or actual, where known) and
capacities;
(iii) transmission
facilities proposed to be constructed, listing separately those with FERC
approval, those in the FERC filing and pre-filing process, those which have
sought non-binding precedent agreements; and
(iv) transmission facilities operated, or
planned to be operated by other than members of the Northeast Gas Association,
to the extent that such information is available.
(3) An assessment of the ability of existing
natural gas supply resources and transportation capacity, and those reasonably
certain to be available, to satisfy their projected requirements over the
planning period.
(4) A statement of
recommended supply additions and demand-reducing measures for satisfying the
natural gas supply requirements not reasonably certain to be met by natural gas
supply sources identified in this section and the reasons therefore.
(c) For in-state natural gas production:
(1) a summary of monthly and
annual natural gas production, including: number and location of wells, volume
and energy content of annual production (million British Thermal Units [MMBTU]
or dekatherms);
(2) summary of
end-use or interconnection with local distribution, intrastate or interstate
natural gas pipelines (if applicable);
(3) the number and demand of customers
directly attached to local production and information on the reliability of
that supply to those customers;
(4)
amount of fuels/electricity used in production process (e.g., drilling;
pumping; transportation of equipment, water, building materials, fluids,
wastes; equipment use; waste treatment);
(5) amounts and concentrations of compounds
used in production process;
(6)
amount of land cleared associated with production process;
(7) and such other information as the chair,
from time to time, may require to carry out the purposes of this
Chapter.
(d) For interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines:
(1) current certificated pipeline capacity
entering and exiting the State of New York;
(2) a description of expansion pipeline
capacity projects to serve New York customers, which have been approved but not
yet constructed, and proposed projects awaiting approval;
(3) a list of contract quantities and
deliveries to customers in the State of New York, including deliveries made
directly to end-users, such as cogeneration facilities. Where available, such
data shall be provided on a monthly and a contract year basis (November 1st
through October 31st);
(4) a
discussion of impediments to further market expansion in the State and the
northeast region;
(5) peak load and
capacity spatially referenced data, in a format that the board deems
appropriate, of the existing pipeline facilities under current and projected
load graphically identifying pipelines that are near or projected to exceed
pipeline capacity during the planning period.
(e) Spatially referenced data, in a format that the board deems appropriate, of local distribution company franchise territories, the location of major transmission and distribution pipelines, and the location of other major natural gas facilities.
(f) For natural gas research and development:
(1) a statement of research and development
plans, including objectives and programs in the areas of energy efficiency,
dual fuel, and new energy technologies;
(2) recent results of such programs
undertaken or funded to date; and
(3) an assessment of the potential impacts of
