Vistra Energy Retail Suppliers Seek Approval To Offer Green Natural Gas Products In New York
Energy Service Providers, Inc. d/b/a New York Gas & Electric; U.S. Gas &
Electric, Inc. d/b/a New York Gas & Electric; Everyday Energy, LLC d/b/a Energy Rewards;
Public Power, LLC; Viridian Energy NY, LLC d/b/a Viridian Energy; Viridian Energy PA, LLC d/b/a Viridian Energy; and Ambit New York, LLC d/b/a Ambit (collectively, the 'Joint
Petitioners', which are all Vistra
Energy companies) sought a declaratory ruling from the New York PSC recognizing Vistra
Energy’s renewable and/or green natural gas products, hereinafter referred to as 'Green Gas
Products,' as permissible energy-related value-added products under the PSC's recent retail energy reset order
or, in the alternative, providing the Joint Petitioners a limited waiver to sell Green Gas
Products during the pendency of the Commission’s review of Green Gas Products in
connection with Track II of the retail market review proceedings.
Specifically, Joint Petitioners seek recognition (approval) of a product that matches 50 percent of a
customer’s natural gas consumption with carbon allowances from the Regional Greenhouse
Gas Initiative (RGGI).
Joint Petitioners’ Green Gas Products would multiply a customer’s natural gas
consumption in Million British Thermal Units (MMBtus) times 117, the pounds of CO2
emitted from the combustion of 1 MMBtu of natural gas, to identify the pounds of CO2 being
produced by the customer. The resulting number would then be divided by 2 to determine
the total CO2 pounds needed to offset 50 percent of the customer’s usage. All customers will
be aggregated and each ton (1 ton equals 2,000 pounds) will be offset with RGGI CO2
allowances. Petitioners will demonstrate their compliance with the voluntary commitment on
an annual basis by either retiring RGGI allowances or holding them in a designated segregated
account used solely for RGGI allowances on Green Gas Products.
