Question: How are ARR revenue allocations handled?

Answer: PJM Auction Revenue Rights (ARR) allocations are performed by PJM per Section 17: Auction Revenue Rights Settlements contained in PJM's Manual 28: Operating Agreement Accounting found at http://www.pjm.com/~/media/documents/manuals/m28.ashx.  If auctions have not taken place, or suppliers have not been identified prior to the start of the ARR nomination process, the FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities will make the ARR nominations for the open SSO load and the resulting allocations will be posted on the Load and Other Data Documents page of the Information Website.  Once the suppliers for the SSO load have been identified, PJM will allocate each SSO supplier its proportional share of ARRs for the load being served in accordance with the PJM manual.

Question: Are all of the FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities' customers eligible for default service? Stated another way is the sum of the "total shopped" and "non-shopped" load equal to the total load published for the FE Ohio load zone?

Answer: The sum of the ‘Shop’ and ‘NonShop’ load is equal to the ‘Total’ load published for the FE Ohio load zone in the Ohio hourly data files. To determine the aggregated total FE Ohio load, Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) load must also be added.

Question: If a customer switches and then comes back to FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities, does this customer load then become part of the SSO load?

Answer: Yes. The following is excerpted from page 18 of the FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities Electric Generation Supplier Coordination Tariff as approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio:

F. Customer Return to Standard Service Offer Supply A Customer’s return to Standard Service Offer Supply may be a result of Customer choice, supplier default, termination of a supplier contract, opt out or termination of a governmental aggregation program, or supplier withdrawal. A Customer may contact the Company to return to the Company’s Standard Service Offer Supply. The return to the Standard Service Offer Supply shall be conducted under the same terms and conditions applicable to an enrollment with a Certified Supplier. Thus, the Company will provide a rescission period consistent with the Commission rules. Provided the Customer has observed the applicable notification requirements and the Company has effectuated the request to return to the Standard Service Offer Supply twelve (12) calendar days prior to the next regularly scheduled Meter Read Date, the Customer will be returned to the Standard Service Offer Supply on the next regularly scheduled Meter Read Date.

Question: My question is around the volume that is procured for each of the utilities. I'm looking to gauge how exposed default service customers would be to the spot market in the event there was a large migration of customers from third party contracts, back to utility default rates. Ex: Lets say OH utility loads were determined that a 1% tranche was equal to 100MW originally. If they added significant loads between delivery years, and a new calculation of 1% of load was determined to be 105MW (lets say this was revised in September), would the supplier who was awarded the 1% tranche be obligated to supply the additional 5MW at the original fixed price or would the utility be completely exposed to the spot market for the extra 5MW?

Answer: SSO Suppliers are required to provide all default service requirements at the fixed price from the auction for SSO load. For your example, the supplier would have the additional responsibility for the 5MW at the fixed price from the auction.

Question: If a data center load is added to the FE Ohio territory, is the data center customer eligible for SSO service?

Answer: A data center, like any large load, typically sources energy from a third-party CRES provider. However, this is not mandatory, meaning data center loads are technically eligible for SSO supply.
