PUC Staff: Utility's Proposed 250% Increase In New Retail Supplier Registration Cost "Adequately Justified" (Renewal Fees Also Increasing)
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
AEP Ohio has "adequately justified" a proposed increase in the cost for a new retail electric supplier to register with AEP Ohio, and an increase in the cost for existing suppliers to renew their registrations, Staff of the PUC of Ohio said in a Staff Report on AEP Ohio's current rate case (Ohio Power)
As first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com, AEP Ohio proposes to increase the annual competitive retail electric service provider (CRES) registration renewal fee to $128 from the current $100
For initial CRES registrations, AEP Ohio proposes to increase the initial CRES registration fee to $356 from the current $100
Concerning the CRES registration fee increases, Staff said in the Staff Report that, "Upon review of the
supporting materials, Staff finds the proposed charges to be adequately justified and recommends
approval."
As previously reported, in the rate case AEP Ohio also proposes to add a condition under the CRES default provisions of the tariff
Specifically, AEP Ohio proposes that a CRES provider shall be deemed in default of its obligations under the utility's Customer Choice Program if, among other things, "The CRES fails to take suitable and timely action to stop inappropriate language showing on consolidated bill ready bills."
AEP Ohio has said that this change is meant, "to ensure customer bills are kept professional."
