Public Service Commission deems NYRI information exempt from public disclosure

ALBANY – Information provided to the New York State Public Service Commission by the New York Regional Interconnect, Inc. in a system reliability impact study will not be released to the public, according to a commission ruling last week.



According to the statement, details provided by NYRI at the commission’s request would be “exempt from public disclosure” due to the sensitive nature of the data contained.

“Public disclosure of this information could allow the transmission system to be disrupted, thus endangering the life or safety of people,” stated the ruling.

Both Communities Against Regional Interconnect (CARI) and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) opposed NYRI’s request that the information contained in the report remain confidential.
