§ 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.
