Settlement Judge Designation - Consolidated Edison Rate Case

Chief Judge designated Administrative Law Judge A. Satt to serve as Settlement Judge for Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. in rate case proceeding ER26-1206. This is a standard FERC procedural order that assigns a settlement judge to facilitate confidential settlement discussions between the utility and intervenors before the case proceeds to evidentiary hearing. The order does not alter any substantive rights or obligations of the parties.

No immediate action is required by any party. Companies monitoring ER26-1206 should note the settlement judge has been appointed, and formal settlement conferences may be scheduled. This is an administrative step with no compliance deadline, penalty implications, or filing requirements beyond what parties would already have in the underlying rate proceeding.
