Talen Energy Marketing Seeks Texas REP Certificate Amendment To, "Add Additional Customers"

Talen Energy Marketing applied at the Texas PUC for an amendment to its Option 2 Texas REP certificate, "to add additional customers."

Option 2 REPs are limited to serving customers 1 MW and larger which provide an affidavit agreeing to such service

Further details concerning the new "customers" were filed under seal.

Talen Energy Marketing recently transitioned from an Option 1 to an Option 2 REP in Texas. In its initial amendment to become an Option 2 REP, Talen Energy Marketing submitted an affidavit from affiliate Barney Davis, LLC (a generating plant) attesting that Barney Davis had contracted with Talen for 1 MW or more of capacity of retail service.

It was unclear if such initial Option 2 amendment included any other customers. Talen also owns two other power plants in Texas

As previously reported, Talen recently announced a strategy shift and said that its retail supply business won't pursue new business, but would continue to service and supply its current and future contracts
