The Pennsylvania PUC yesterday issued a Secretarial Letter to inform licensed electric generation suppliers (EGSs) of the procedure to submit for review by Commission Staff the newly required "EGS Contract Summaries" required by recent PUC order (click here for story).

Commission Staff from the Office of Competitive Market Oversight, the Bureau of Consumer Services (BCS) and the Office of Communications will be reviewing the summaries to provide informal feedback and advice to assist EGSs in their efforts to comply with the new regulations, the PUC said. Staff review and feedback is considered informal advice and is provided pursuant to 52 Pa Code §1.96 solely as an aid to EGSs. It is not binding upon the Commonwealth or the Commission and informal opinions are subject to withdrawal or change at any time to conform with new or different interpretations of the law or regulation.

All EGSs that are actively soliciting residential and small business customers were directed to submit a draft sample of the Contract Summary they intend to use.

EGSs were directed to submit one sample for each product type they intend to offer; e.g. fixed price, variable price and introductory price products. "It is not required for EGSs to send a sample for every product offered - it is expected that EGSs will apply the feedback received to all of their Contract Summaries," the PUC said.

"We also note that, with the exception of EGSs going through the initial licensing process, it is not necessary to seek Commission review of all Contract Summaries going forward. However, EGSs are expected to apply the feedback received to future summaries," the PUC said.

EGSs were directed to submit electronic versions of the contract summaries to the Office of Competitive Market Oversight by July 11, 2014

"It is our intent to review and provide an expeditious response. However, EGSs should comply with the new regulation upon its effective date – meaning that Contract Summaries should be provided to all new residential and small business customers regardless of whether or not Commission staff has completed its review of those summaries," the PUC said.

The new regulations containing the Contract Summary among other requirements was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on June 14, 2014, and goes into effect 30 days after publication

Docket No.: L-2014-2409385
