Market Sources Expect Another ERCOT Mass Transition

ERCOT market observers are expecting another mass transition of customers to new retail providers, and this transition is likely to be a POLR drop rather than a transition outside of the POLR process, as was the case with Abacus Resources Energy earlier this month.

Due to the proprietary nature of the information and potential for an averted POLR drop, the identity of the REP could not be disclosed at this time, however sources said that the REP is a prepaid provider with a small book of under 2,000 customers.

A POLR drop could start as soon as Monday or Tuesday, sources said.
