Redline documents for the RFP Rules and Default Service SMA has been posted to the Documents section under RFP Information.

This is considered a wholesale transaction where the default service supplier would be responsible to provide full requirements service to serve a portion of the load of PPL Electric’s default service customers under the terms of the Default Service SMA. Please refer to the Default Service SMA for the detailed obligations and requirements associated with the default service supplier.  These requirements include being a PJM member in good standing, being qualified as a PJM “Market Buyer” and “Market Seller” pursuant to PJM Agreements and being qualified as a PJM “Load Serving Entity.”

PPL Electric does not get involved in the supplier ARR nomination process. As such, PPL Electric does not have any information on the paths that are chosen by each supplier during the ARR nomination process. The entities that have the opportunity to nominate paths in this process are those that are supplying default service when the ARR nomination process occurs. ARRs have been allocated to each default service supplier based on the tranches associated with such supplier pursuant to those previously executed default service SMAs. PJM provides and implements the rules associated with ARRs and FTRs, as found on their website.

Previous RFP results can be found on the Archive page under Background Information section (http://www.ppldsp.com/background/archives/).

Please see the Calendar page of the RFP website for the schedule of the current solicitation as well as the tentative schedule for future solicitations.

The list of winning bidders in prior RFPs is not publicly available.

Wholesale energy suppliers are responsible for Reactive Supply and Voltage Control costs/credits imposed by PJM. PJM billing line items pulled back by PPL Electric are detailed in Appendix C of the Supplier Master Agreement. Any costs or credits not outlined in Appendix C are the right and responsibility of winning wholesale suppliers.  PPL Electric does not have information on the evolution or fluctuation of costs from Reactive Supply and Voltage Control. As such, the Company is not able to forecast or predict what future costs may look like for wholesale suppliers.

The TOU program is not expected to be implemented by June 2018 and  the suppliers who will be awarded tranches in the October 2017 solicitation are not expected to be affected by the TOU Program.

Suppliers who will be awarded tranches in the October 2017 solicitation are not expected to be affected by the TOU Program.  The current form of the Default Service SMA states that the Default Service Load excludes the TOU Load and PPL Electric does not expect to make any changes to this current form of the Default Service SMA.

Suppliers who will be awarded tranches in the October 2017 solicitation are not expected to be affected by the TOU Program.  It is the understanding of PPL Electric that the TOU Program cannot be implemented by June 2018; however this is subject to the Commission's decision.

The proposal is currently pending PUC decision.  The TOU program is not expected to be implemented by June 2018 and the suppliers who will be awarded tranches in the October 2017 solicitation are not expected to be affected by the TOU program.

PPL Electric is not aware of further changes to the Tier I AEPS requirement, and cannot speculate on future changes that may occur. For avoidance of doubt, the AEPS requirement applicable to winning bidders in a given solicitation is provided in Exhibit 2 to the Default Service SMA prepared for such solicitation, which is included with the bidder’s Notification of Qualification.

PPL Electric cannot comment on proposals before FERC. Default Service Suppliers shall be responsible for supplying Full Requirements Service and will be compensated pursuant to the terms of the Default Service Supplier Master Agreement.

The proposal is currently pending PUC decision.  The TOU program is not expected to be implemented before June 2019 and the suppliers who will be awarded tranches in the April 2018 solicitation are not expected to be affected by the TOU program.

While the PPL RFP website contains some general information of interest to all stakeholders, this website is established for the procurement of Default Service supply. The Default Service contract process is not built to directly procure power from any individual builders of any generation facilities, solar or otherwise.  Please contact PPL Electric Utilities directly if you are interested in net metering. If you are interested in becoming a wholesale energy supplier, please contact the PJM interconnection directly for guidance.

The presentation and audio recording from the Bidder Information Webcast have been posted to the Bidder Information Materials section in the Default Service RFP Documents page of ppldsp.com.

First, the TOU RFP failed to procure tranches for each of the Residential and the Small Commercial & Industrial Customer Groups in the May 2019 and October 2019 solicitations. As such, under the TOU Contingency Plan, the TOU Load for the applicable supply period (June 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020) has been included in the Default Service Load for the applicable period and served by the Default Service Suppliers providing Default Service Supply.  You can find the results of each TOU RFP solicitation on the TOU-RFP. Should a future TOU RFP solicitation for a Customer Group be successful in the future, then the load of TOU Customers for such Customer Group will be served by the TOU Supplier and will be excluded from the load of Default Service Suppliers.

The slide about the load being a residual load for Residential Customer Group is part of the “Default Service RFP Process and Requirements” slide that is posted as part of Bidder Information Materials. For Residential only, full requirements load is reduced by NYPA supply and long-term block supply.
