At this time, use of (i) a manually signed signature or (ii) a digital signature via DocuSign, Adobe Sign, or Infocert is approved for use by PPL Electric.

The submission of a signed SMA and Bid Assurance Collateral does not create a binding obligation to submit bids on Bid Proposal Due Date.

PPL Electric’s W-9 form is available upon request and will be sent directly via email to the requesting party. Regarding other onboarding and due diligence requests, please note the following.  The RFP is conducted pursuant to PPL Electric’s sixth default service program petition that was filed with and approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) in Docket Number P-2024-3047290. All bidders must participate pursuant to the process as described in the RFP and based on the terms of the RFP. During the RFP, NERA is the RFP Manager and is the contact for PPL Electric Utilities Corporation. During the term of the supplier master agreement (SMA), contact information for PPL Electric is provided in the applicable SMA. PPL Electric endeavors to work to provide the information you requested upon approval of the results by the PUC on a commercially reasonable basis.  No additional information is provided prior to the approval of bid results by the PUC.

Please see the RFP Calendar page (https://ppldsp.com/calendar/) for the schedule of the current solicitation as well as the tentative schedule for future solicitations.

As set forth in the RFP Rules, the RFP Bidder must sign the SMA and submit the SMA by noon EPT on the second business day prior to the Bid Proposal Due Date. If the RFP Bidder is awarded any tranches in any solicitation in the RFP, the signed SMA that was initially submitted will be executed by PPL Electric and provided to the RFP Bidder together with the partially executed Transaction Confirmation forms via email. If the RFP Bidder was not awarded tranches in the solicitation for which a SMA was provided, PPL Electric will retain the SMA for any future solicitation in which the RFP Bidder may again submit a Bid Proposal, in which case it is the responsibility of the RFP Bidder to submit any updated pages of the SMA no later than two (2) business days prior to the Bid Proposal Due Date of the solicitation in which the RFP Bidder is participating.

No, the Confidentiality Agreement is a standard document that must be executed in its current form and without modifications by each RFP Bidder as a condition of its participation in the RFP.

Confidentiality Agreements used in connection with PPL Electric’s default service procurement plan are standard documents that have been approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. All RFP Bidders must execute the Confidentiality Agreement without modifications. However, PPL Electric considers that, by asking this question and providing the requirements that are imposed on the RFP Bidder by relevant bank regulatory authorities , the RFP Bidder has provided PPL Electric an appropriate notice as stated under Paragraph 10(a) of the Confidentiality Agreement. If the only instance of noncompliance with Paragraph 10(a), Paragraph 11, or any other terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, including without limitation provisions related to disclosure and retention of Confidential Information, arises from compliance with requirements from an applicable bank regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the RFP Bidder, PPL Electric will not consider such noncompliance as a breach of the Confidentiality Agreement.
