PUC Staff Recommend Grant Of Utilities' Sought Waivers Concerning New EDI Transaction
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Staff of the PUC of Ohio support the grant of limited waivers to both the FirstEnergy Ohio EDCs and AEP Ohio concerning the use of an EDI transaction to allow retail suppliers to request an expedited return of a mercantile customer to default service
As previously reported, new Ohio Adm.Code 4901:1-21-21(A) provides that a request from a retail electric supplier, on behalf of a mercantile customer, for an expedited return of the customer to default service shall be made via a form developed by PUCO, "or an equivalent EDI transaction".
Both utilities said that more time is needed to develop and test an EDI transaction for expedited returns of mercantile customers to default service, and said that they would be able to process such returns manually in the interim
Given that the utilities will still be able to process the expedited returns manually, Staff, "recommends approval of a limited waiver of the EDI option to submit a certified request for an expedited return of a mercantile customer to the EDU’s SSO as required in Ohio Adm.Code 4901:1-21-21(A)."
The FirstEnergy Ohio utilities and AEP Ohio are the only utilities which have requested a waiver thus far
