PSC Approves Changes To Provisions Governing Default Service If Opt-out Aggregation Commences
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The Maryland PSC has approved proposed revisions, from the Office of People's Counsel, to the mechanism meant to address risk to SOS suppliers and customers from the potential start of an opt-out municipal aggregation (CCA) at Montgomery County, Maryland
The PSC adopted changes from OPC without modification
The changes are fully discussed in our prior story here
Of note, under the adopted OPC changes, customers in Montgomery County (which may have a CCA) and Prince George’s County (which would not have a CCA) would no longer see "separate" SOS rates if the CCA results in higher costs to SOS under the conditions more fully described in our prior story.
"All customers will receive the same SOS rate," OPC's mechanism states
Instead, these additional SOS costs (or credits) will be recovered (or refunded) through a county-specific Power Cost Adjustment (PCA). As noted in our prior story, use of a PCA may impact how customers see the costs and how the costs will be presented to customers (potentiality not part of the posted "SOS Pricing Information" which is used for shopping comparisons)
