Pa. PUC Approves RFP, Tariffs For Default Service Time Of Use Options

The Pennsylvania PUC approved PPL Electric's tariff and RFP to implement a Time of Use generation rate option for non-shopping customers, to be supplied by wholesale suppliers

The proposed design of the TOU program, to be supplied by wholesale suppliers via full requirements service, had been exclusively first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com (further details here)

The TOU program will have a summer season and a winter season. The summer season will occur from June 1 through November 30 of each year, with peak hours occurring Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. All other hours during the summer season will be off-peak. The winter season will occur from December 1 through May 31 of each year, with peak hours occurring Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. All other hours during the winter season will be off-peak.

PPL Electric will hold separate TOU wholesale supply auctions to obtain rates for the summer season supply and winter season supply.

PPL Electric will procure one tranche representing 100% of residential TOU supply and one tranche representing 100% of small commercial & industrial TOU supply during each auction process. Companies will bid for TOU tranches by supplying a percentage discount to the generation portion of PPL Electric’s Price-to-Compare. The winning bid for each tranche will be utilized as the season-specific off-peak rate. A seasonal multiplier will be developed utilizing a rolling five-year selection of PJM Interconnection LLC Day Ahead Spot Market pricing data for the PPL Electric Residual Aggregation Zone to calculate the seasonal on-peak rate.

The TOU generation rate schedule is only available to residential and/or small commercial & industrial default service customers
