The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio has awarded, to a retail electric supplier, 100% of the load of electricity Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) customers at AEP Ohio for the term June 1, 2018 through May 31, 2019

As previously reported, an initial auction held earlier this year for a retail supplier to serve the PIPP load did not produce any conforming bids. In the initial auction, bids must beat a benchmark that is based on the SSO auction price.

A supplemental RFP, with no price to beat, is held if no load is awarded in the initial auction. Retail providers may submit bids to serve the PIPP load at any price under the supplemental auction.

The supplemental competitive RFP auction was successful in procuring supply for 100% of AEP Ohio's PIPP load for the June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019, delivery period. PUCO accepted results of the supplemental auction

An auction report did not specify in its non-redacted section whether the load was awarded to a single retail supplier or multiple suppliers

However, PUCO in its order accepting the auction results stated, "the Commission finds that the winning bidder and winning bid price," shall remain confidential until June 1, 2018.
