Board renews NYPA preference‑power contract, contingent on attorney review
Summary
The board voted to renew its contract for preference power from the New York Power Authority, noting that terms were negotiated at higher levels and local changes are limited; the renewal was approved contingent on attorney Pat's review.
The board discussed a new contract with the New York Power Authority (NYPA) for preference power and said the agreement reflects negotiated terms at the state level and by counsel. A staff member said the contract "applies to anyone receiving that power in the state" and that local negotiation is limited; the board voted to renew the contract contingent on review by the utility's attorney (Pat/Mary Powers).
A board speaker described the negotiated increases and said NYPA originally proposed a sharper rate jump but the terms were negotiated down (the speaker described a reduction from a proposal of 33¢ per megawatt to 23¢ over six years). The board approved a motion to renew the NYPA contract with the caveat that its attorney review the agreement; the vote was carried by voice.
