Two States Approve Changes To SOS Under Which Utilities Assume Additional Non-Market PJM Costs, Remove Responsibility From SOS Suppliers

The Maryland and Delaware PSCs have each approved changes to the electricity SOS procurements under which the states' investor-owned electric utilities, including BGE, Pepco, Delmarva (both states), and Potomac Edison, will, under their full requirements contracts for SOS, transfer responsibility for PJM Billing Line Item 1935 to the utility, relieving the wholesale SOS suppliers from the Billing Line Item 1935 obligation

PJM Billing Line Item 1935 relates to U.S. Dept of Energy (DOE) emergency orders under Section 202C of the Federal Power Act.

The adopted proposals "essentially" make costs for PJM Billing Line Item 1935 a pass-through item

Transferring the responsibility for Section 202C from SOS suppliers to the utilities reduces risk for SOS suppliers

The orders from each PSC did not address treatment of Billing Line Item 1935 for non-SOS suppliers (retail suppliers)
