New York PSC Changes Date For Procedural Conference On Evidentiary Process Reviewing Total Ban On Mass Market ESCO Service

The New York PSC has changed the date for the procedural conference concerning Track I of the PSC's recently initiated evidentiary process reviewing the retail energy markets, including a potential total ban on mass market ESCO service

The procedural conference is now scheduled for January 26, 2017.

Originally, the procedural conference had been scheduled for January 18, 2017

However, an ESCO noted that such January 18 date fell on the same date as the National Energy Marketers Association winter executive and policy development meeting, which is widely attended by ESCOs' regulatory affairs and legal staffs, and asked that the PSC reschedule the procedural conference

The principal purposes of the procedural conference are to identify parties, to discuss a procedural schedule and to address issues related to the service of documents, discovery and any other procedural matters identified by the parties at the conference, the PSC said in a notice
