PUC Dismisses Utility's Proposed Default Service Plan
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The PUC of Ohio has dismissed an electric security plan application filed by the FirstEnergy Ohio utilities, which had been filed prior to a new law governing default service
The proposed plan, ESP VI, would have run through May 31, 2028
However, recent HB15 does not allow new electric security plans
Default service (SSO) may now only be established under a "market-rate offer" (MRO), though existing electric security plans may continue until the expiration date of the last delivery year for which PUCO has already approved an SSO procurement plan
Generally, the dismissed ESP VI did not include any major changes to default service procurement versus current practice
However, the dismissed ESP VI proceeding had also served as a forum to address other retail market issues
Most notably, in ESP VI, the FirstEnergy Ohio EDCs had proposed a smart thermostat rebate program open to retail suppliers
This proposed ESP VI smart thermostat rebate program would have been separate from and in addition to a smart thermostat rebate program ordered and being implemented under the FirstEnergy Ohio utilities' grid modernization program (Phase 2)
