Pepco Files Response To Staff’s Data Request That Includes Detailed Information On Customers Served By Each Retail Supplier Under POR
Pepco of the District of Columbia reported information for calendar years 2022 through 2024 that included the number of residential and non-residential customers in the POR program for each retail supplier.
Additional information from Pepco’s response:
[ *** ] Pepco recommends excluding late payment revenues from the POR discount rate calculation to cover the costs of administering the program and pursuing past-due and uncollectible balances, rather than using them to reduce supplier discount rates. Pepco further clarifies that these revenues should not be applied to reduce the uncollectible balance for the applicable year, as this would leave the current discount rate formula unchanged.
Pepco recommends excluding late payment revenues from the discount rate calculation to cover program administration costs and the effort required to pursue past-due and uncollectible balances. While this approach shifts the risk of uncollectibles to suppliers at the front end—rather than carrying them forward to future periods—Pepco emphasizes that late payment revenues also help offset administrative costs.

Pepco does not recommend using the late payment revenues to reduce uncollectible balances. The late payment revenues are recommended to be used to cover costs Pepco incurs in administering the program and pursuing past-due and uncollectible balances. [ *** ]
