PUC Chair Encourages EDCs To Remove Barriers To Increased Bidder Participation In Default Service Procurements
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
During today's public meeting, Pennsylvania PUC Chair Stephen DeFrank encouraged EDCs to review their default service Supplier Master Agreements (SMA) to remove any barriers which may be preventing participation from additional well-qualified wholesale suppliers
"I take this opportunity to encourage all applicable electric distribution companies (EDCs) to review their SMAs to ensure the agreements do not inadvertently prohibit participation from well-qualified wholesalers," DeFrank said
"Furthermore, I welcome reviewing additional proposals advanced by EDCs to remove any unnecessary restrictions set forth in the current terms and conditions of their SMAs," DeFrank said
DeFrank's statement was made as the PUC approved a previously reported proposed change in the PECO SMA which is meant to increase bidder participation
PECO's revised SMA approved today now incorporates the 2018 International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol into the SMA.
PECO had said that this addition would enable market participants subject to the regulations issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (U.S. Stay Regulations) to participate in the Company’s default service auctions.
PECO’s petition stated that certain wholesale suppliers subject to the U.S. Stay Regulations had not been able to participate in the Company’s default service supply solicitations because the SMA had lacked the ISDA U.S. Resolution
