Northeast Retail Supplier Seeks Texas REP Certificate

Talen Energy Marketing, LLC applied for an Option 1 Texas retail electric provider certificate.

Talen Energy currently serves over 10,000 C&I accounts in PJM. Talen Energy recently sold its Northeast mass market book to IGS Energy, as previously reported

"Talen Energy currently sells directly to commercial, industrial and institutional clients, but we also maintain a robust portfolio of industry accredited and licensed channel partners (brokers, consultants and aggregators) through which we sell electricity supply to end use customers. Talen Energy plans to employ the same sales model in ERCOT," Talen said in its application to the Texas PUC

Option 1 REPs may serve all customer sizes in the geographic area selected in its application. Talen Energy Marketing, LLC, in its application, selected the entire State of Texas as the appreciable geographic area.

In its application, Talen did not seek authorization for the option of collecting deposits or residential advance payments from customers
