Pennsylvania To Open A Proceeding On Opting Out Of Eligible Customer Lists
Dockets:
M-2010-2183412
Category: Uncategorized
- As reported previously, in an order issued by the Pennsylvania PUC on a petition from electric utility Duquesne requesting authority to solicit customers via email regarding opting out of the eligible customer list, the PUC also directed the Office of Competitive Market Oversight in conjunction with the Law Bureau to re-open a proceeding at Docket No. M-2010-2183412 to update the eligible customer list guidelines applicable to all utilities.
- As background, every three years electric distribution companies such as Duquesne are required to send a solicitation to their customers regarding whether the customer declines inclusion in its eligible customer list (ECL) whose information may be provided to a competitive energy supplier (EGS). By this Petition, Duquesne seeks Commission authorization to extend the holdings of the Opinion and Order dated January 14, 2021, at Docket Nos. P-2020-3022674 and M-2010-2183412 (January 14th Order) through the 2024 ECL solicitation and subsequent ECL solicitations. Specifically, the Company proposes to serve the 2024 2 ECL solicitation, in addition to all ECL solicitations going forward, through electronic means for customers who have consented to receive e-communications from the Company. For the reasons set forth below, the Commission grants, in part, the Petition.
