Constellation NewEnergy has sought an extension from the New York PSC of the deadline for it to file standard sales agreements for its bundled home warranty and energy supply product for which the PSC recently granted authorization under which the product need not comply with the otherwise applicable pricing limits or additional renewable content requirements for mass market products

See background on the authorization granted to Constellation NewEnergy (CNE) here

In its request, CNE said, "In accordance with Ordering Clause 7 of the Public Service Commission’s ('Commission') Order Addressing ESCO Petitions Requesting Authorization to Provide Additional Products and Services (the 'Order'), issued on January 25, 2021 in the above-referenced proceedings, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. and Constellation NewEnergy – Gas Division, LLC (together, 'Constellation') respectfully request an extension of time from the current compliance deadline set forth in Ordering Clause 2. Ordering Clause 2 provides that Constellation shall, within 30 days of the issuance of the Order (i.e., by February 24, 2021), file its standard sales agreements for each authorized home warranty product bundle."

"Constellation respectfully requests an extension of an additional 30 days, until March 26, 2021, to provide the Commission with its applicable sales agreements," CNE said

"Constellation is working diligently to prepare its applicable sales agreements in accordance with the terms Constellation proposed in its petition and consistent with the Uniform Business Practices and Commission orders. However, coordination across different teams within Constellation is necessary due to the information to be included in these sales agreements. Given key employees’ pre-planned vacations around the Presidents’ Day holiday and other commitments of the individuals involved, Constellation requires additional time to finish gathering and reviewing these sales agreements," CNE said

"Further, the Commission has determined that other ESCOs seeking to offer home warranty products must file standard sales agreements, but provides no deadline for such filing. Constellation should not be under a quicker filing deadline requirement simply because it already filed a petition that the Commission approved," CNE said

"For the foregoing reasons, Constellation respectfully requests a 30-day extension to comply with Ordering Clause 2 and file its sales agreements," CNE said
