PUC Revokes Retail Supplier's License, Denies Relinquishment
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The Pennsylvania PUC revoked the retail electric supplier license of Astral Energy, LLC for what the PUC found to be Astral's non-compliance with the Commission’s financial security requirements, annual fee requirements, and AEPS Act regulations.
As previously reported, Astral had entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings in 2023 and its customers were dropped to default service (see story here). Astral filed for abandonment of its Pennsylvania electric supplier license in 2024
While the PUC noted that Astral's posted security covered the company's unpaid alternative compliance payment obligations and other fees, the PUC said that, "such recovery does not remedy the company’s underlying violations of the Public Utility Code and the Commission’s regulations."
"These violations provide independent and sufficient grounds for revocation of Astral Energy’s license pursuant to 66 Pa. C.S.
§ 2809(c) and 52 Pa. Code § 54.42(a)(1), (2), and (7)," the PUC said, referring to the non-compliance with the Commission’s financial security requirements, annual fee requirements, and AEPS Act regulations
"Under the circumstances, the Commission finds that it is not in the public interest to grant Astral Energy’s Application to abandon its EGS license and therefore denies the company’s Application for abandonment," the PUC said, as the PUC instead revoked Astral's electric license
