What is AGM Article 16, Section 192-H?

Article 16 — Weights and Measures, Section 192-H mandates that retail gasoline outlets in New York maintain an alternate power source, such as a portable or standby generator. This power source must provide sufficient electricity to keep essential station operations—like fuel dispensers, payment systems, and safety mechanisms—functioning when the local power grid goes down.

Why Is This Important?

In the event of a widespread power outage, especially during emergencies like hurricanes or severe storms, gas stations are vital for evacuation efforts, emergency response teams, and the general public. A reliable backup power source ensures that these stations remain open to serve fuel and provide critical services, minimizing chaos during evacuation efforts or prolonged power outages. This law helps maintain public safety and keeps vital resources accessible when they’re needed most.

Who Does This Affect?

Retail gas stations located within half a mile of a controlled-access highway exit or evacuation route are directly impacted by this regulation. These stations must comply with the backup power requirements to avoid penalties and ensure continuous service during an emergency.

How Weld Power Can Help Retail Gas Stations Comply

Complying with Article 16, Section 192-H requires retail gas stations to have a documented plan for backup power. New York law requires that each qualifying gas station have one of the following:

– A contract with a supplier for the deployment and installation of a backup power source.
– Proof of capability to install and use a generator during an emergency.
