PUC Adopts Stipulation Under Which Utility Will Meet With Retail Suppliers Concerning Outstanding Supplier Uncollectibles Due To Billing Issues
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The PUC of Ohio adopted without modification a rate case stipulation under which Dayton Power and Light (AES Ohio) will meet with retail suppliers concerning utility billing issues, including discussions of retail supplier uncollectibles resulting from the delayed issuance of EDC bills to customers, and potential remedies for such
See background here
As previously reported, retail suppliers had alleged during the rate case that, as a result of AES Ohio implementing a new CIS, "CRES [retail] providers have not been able to have customers properly billed over several months, with some suppliers having outstanding charges of over a million dollars that AES Ohio has still not properly billed to customers."
Under the adopted settlement, AES Ohio agreed to convene a Billing Resolution Group that has already begun meeting
Additionally, under the approved settlement, AES Ohio agrees to meet with representatives of RESA members, IGS, and any other interested parties and suppliers in January 2026 to discuss the status of any outstanding receivables relating to service provided between September 2024 and October 2025.
Notably, under the stipulation, AES Ohio also commits to analyzing and discussing any retail provider uncollectible amount that was caused by any delayed billing from the implementation of the AES Customer Ecosystem
The adopted stipulation notes that such uncollectible discussions, "could include AES Ohio agreeing to propose certain changes or accounting authority as potential remedies."
The stipulation stresses that the Signatory Parties are not recommending at this time any specific outcome as a result of this uncollectible discussion, and to the extent agreement were reached on any specific proposal, such agreement or tariff change will be filed with the Commission for review and approval, and all interested parties reserve the right to take any position whatsoever on the issue
As previously reported, the stipulation's Signatory Parties also "recommend[ed]" that PUCO allow AES Ohio to share the hourly interval data of a retail supplier's customer with that customer's retail supplier, without AES Ohio needing to obtain additional permission from the Commission or the customer to share such interval data (recommending that PUCO grant a waiver of Ohio Adm.Code 4901:1-10-24(D)(3))
While the stipulation was "approved and adopted in its entirety", as the stipulation term concerning interval data sharing only constituted a joint recommendation to PUCO (rather than an action that must be undertaken by DP&L), it would appear that approval of the stipulation itself does not constitute adoption of the recommended policy regarding the sharing of the hourly interval data
PUCO did not discuss the data sharing provision other than reciting the recommendation as a term that had been included in the stipulation
PUCO did not substantively discuss the sharing of hourly interval data in its order
PUCO did not explicitly adopt the interval data sharing recommendation
PUCO did not explicitly grant a waiver of Ohio Adm.Code 4901:1-10-24(D)(3)), nor did PUCO explicitly grant any similar relief
Case 24-1011-EL-ATA et al.
