N.Y. Public Service Law § 135-e: Energy conservation criteria

§ 135-e. Energy conservation criteria. 1. Participation shall be

denied to any eligible customer whose proposed installation of energy

conservation measures fails to meet minimum criteria established by the

commission for purposes of home conservation plans. The commission

shall establish criteria for each energy conservation measure after

consultation with the New York State Energy Office and the New York

State Building Code Council and after requesting written comment from

interested parties.

2. The commission may upon its own motion or upon request of an

eligible customer grant an exception to such a customer from any such

criteria upon a showing that compliance is not technically feasible or

would result in severe economic hardship.
