License Briefs

Superior Plus Energy Services Receives Pa. Electric License
As first noted by our live blog yesterday, the Pennsylvania PUC granted Superior Plus Energy Services an electric generation supplier license to serve all customer classes, including residential customers, in all service areas. It is believed to be the first U.S. supplier license granted to Superior Plus (most notably, New York does not docket license proceedings; however, Superior Plus does not yet appear as EDI certified in N.Y.). Superior Plus' planned entry into the U.S. has been chronicled by Matters over the past year (10/1/10, 11/5/09). As more fully detailed in our past coverage, Superior Plus owns several fuel oil marketers in the Northeast U.S., including in the Philadelphia area, under which it intends to cross-sell electricity.
