Master SSO Supply Agreement

AGR 00005

Question: According to the Master SSO Supply Agreement, the SSO load excludes "PIPP" customers. Can you provide details of the PIPP program and the rules for customers switching from SSO to PIPP and back?

Answer: Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) is an extended payment arrangement that requires electric companies to accept payments based on a percentage of the household income. As a part of the Universal Service Fund program enabled by Ohio Substitute Senate Bill 3, the Deparment of Ohio Development will administer the PIPP for electricity customers. Please see the following link for further details: http://development.ohio.gov/is/is_pipp.htm

If/when a customer would leave the PIPP program, they would be able to become an SSO customer or shop with a Competitive Retail Electric Service (CRES) supplier.

AGR 00046

Question: With respect to FERC’s Electric Quarterly Reports (EQR), please elaborate how a Supplier should record sales among the FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities, and if Suppliers will receive information, and frequency, for reporting of such sales for each of the FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities. For reference: “EQRs include information about cost-based rate sales, market-based rate sales, and transmission service, as well as transaction information for short-term and long-term market-based power sales and cost-based power sales.” https://www.ferc.gov/sites/default/files/2020-05/eqr-requirements-guide_0.pdf

Answer: The FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities are unable to provide a legal opinion as to how reporting should be completed for FERC’s Electric Quarterly Reports (EQR). Such questions should be addressed to each Supplier's legal counsel. Additional resources, such as FAQs on the EQR process, can be found at FERC.gov. The FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities do provide invoices monthly, which include MWh purchased and pricing. PJM currently provides EQR data for suppliers in their MSRS report as a further resource.
