Session Law 2021-165 authorizes performance-based regulation for electric public utilities and directs the Commission to adopt implementation rules, which it did on February 10, 2022. (See the Commission’s order issued February 10, 2022, in Docket No. E-100 Sub 178.)

In addition to scheduling this technical conference, the Commission ordered DEC to file information on those transmission and distribution projects in Docket No. E-7 Sub 1276 no later than October 19, 2022.

There will not be an opportunity for members of the public to speak at the technical conference.
