Long-Term Block Rules

The “Price (US$/MWh)” column of the Bid Proposal Spreadsheet indicates the RFP Bidder’s price quote corresponding to the number of the Total Tranches Supplied in that row. An example is provided below for illustrative purposes only.

Bidder ABC has submitted a complete Bid Proposal Spreadsheet for the long-term block product. Bidder ABC has bid for a Total of One (1) Tranche Supplied at US$40/MWh and a Total of Two (2) Tranches Supplied at US$45/MWh. Bidder ABC has marked an “X” for Three (3) Total Tranches Supplied to indicate that they do not wish to bid on more than Two (2) Total Tranches Supplied. CASE 1: Bidder ABC is awarded One (1) Total Tranche Supplied. If Bidder ABC is awarded One (1) Total Tranche Supplied for the long-term block product, Bidder ABC would be required to provide 50 MW (i.e., 50 MW* 1 Tranche) of Block Service. Bidder ABC will be paid US$40 per MWh for each MWh of Block Service delivered. CASE 2: Bidder ABC is awarded Two (2) Total Tranches Supplied. If Bidder ABC is awarded Two (2) Total Tranches Supplied for the long-term block product, Bidder ABC would be required to provide 100 MW (i.e., 50 MW* 2 Tranches) of Block Service. Bidder ABC will be paid US$45 per MWh for each MWh of Block Service delivered.

The contingency plan as filed in PPL Electric’s DSP VI is as follows:

The RFP Manager or PPL Electric cannot comment on the PUC decision-making process.

Yes, if an RFP Bidder is awarded any tranches and requires the Annual Gross Receipts Tax Electric Reseller Acknowledgment Form, PPL Electric will provide the Annual Gross Receipts Tax Electric Reseller Acknowledgment Form.

As stated in Section 7.4.6 of the Long-Term Block Supply RFP Rules, “The Bid Proposal Evaluation Team will consider all combinations of Bid(s) (across RFP Bidders) whose sum of Total Tranches Supplied is equal to the Available Tranches. … For each combination, the Bid Proposal Evaluation Team will calculate the Combination Average Price (“CAP”) equal to the average Price (U.S. $/MWh) of the Bids in the combination weighted by their corresponding Total Tranches Supplied. The winning Bid(s) will be the Bid(s) contained in the combination with the lowest CAP.” The winning combination will then be presented to the PUC for approval. The PUC will have one (1) business day to decide whether to approve the result. If the PUC does not act within one (1) business day, the winning Bids are deemed to be approved.

The Performance Assurance Collateral (including any Guaranty) must be posted concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Confirmation, which is within two business days of PUC decision.
Please see LTB-Rules-FAQ-3 on the return of Bid Assurance Collateral.
