Met-Ed/Penelec Delay Effective Date of Supplier Coordination, POR Tariffs
Met-Ed and Penelec have filed a revised effective date for their new supplier coordination tariffs, which include the companies' Purchase of Receivables program (P-2009-2093053, P-2009-2093054, C-2010-2178216 & C-2010-2178227).  The tariffs are subject to a complaint from RESA on several issues relating to (1) customer enrollments including the rescission period, change of address, and restricted information; (2) various processes for suppliers to request and receive data; and (3) billing options and requirements (see 6/15).  RESA is not objecting to the POR terms in the tariffs, apart from one cost recovery issue under which the companies propose to recover from suppliers the cost of any consumer protections required due to POR that are beyond those required under Chapter 14 of the Public Utility Code and Chapters 55 and 56 of the Commission's regulations.  "Given the current status of the proceeding," the FirstEnergy companies have, "determined that the supplier tariff should have a proposed effective date of January 15, 2011."
