STATE OF NEW YORK PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION

CASE 12-M-0476 - Proceeding on Motion of the Commission to

Assess Certain Aspects of the Residential and Small Non-Residential Retail Energy Markets in New York State

NOTICE EXTENDING DEADLINE

(Issued September 1, 2015) By letter dated August 28, 2015, Consolidated Edison

Company of New York, Inc. and Orange and Rockland Utilities,

Inc. (together, the “Companies”), requested a one-month

extension until October 2, 2015 to submit a letter confirming

that the Companies have completed any system upgrades necessary

to implement the Revised EDI Standards as directed by the Order

Approving Changes to the Electronic Data Interchange Standards

issued March 2, 2015 in the above proceeding. The filing is

currently due on September 2, 2015.

The Companies state that the extension is needed as

system upgrades required to implement the Revised EDI Standards

will not be completed by September 2, 2015, and the extension

will provide the Companies with the time necessary to implement

all required changes to their systems. The Companies also state

that this extension will not interfere with the Companies’

ability to meet the deadline of November 2, 2015 for completion

of required testing of the Revised EDI Standards.

This is to advise that the Companies’ request for

extension until October 2, 2015 is granted to all electric and

gas distribution utilities that have tariffed provisions

providing for retail access in order to promote the fair,

orderly and efficient conduct of this case.
