D.C. To Hold Supplier Workshop, Technical Conference

The District of Columbia PSC has scheduled a supplier workshop and technical conference on certain rulemaking related to retail electric suppliers, such as the consumer bill of rights and supplier licensing standards

The Supplier Education Workshop will be a general information session during which the Commission Staff will describe and answer questions about the Commission’s current consumer complaint process, and its current requirements for licensed suppliers. The Commission Staff will also provide a brief summary of the proposed changes to the consumer bill of rights and the proposed codification of the licensing rules.

The Technical Conference will be more narrowly-focused. The purpose of the Technical Conference is to provide an opportunity for further discussion of the proposed amendments and comments to the consumer bill of rights and licensing and bonding rules with the Commission Staff and interested persons. The subject matter of the Technical Conference will be limited to a discussion of the proposed rules and the comments on the consumer bill of rights and licensing and bonding NOPRs.

Both the Supplier Education Workshop and the Technical Conference will be held on August 4, 2015
