Question: Have any new rules been put in place as a result the substantial amount of migration seen in 2022 and 2023 (migration into standard service in 2022 and migration out of standard service in 2023)? I.e. is there a minimum stay requirement for customers on standard service, or when a customer leaves standard service can they not return for a certain amount of time?

Answer: During the past 18 months, the PUCO ordered EDUs to update their tariffs to address the return of customers to the SSO—the Commission referred to these as “minimum stay provisions.” For Duke Energy Ohio, this filing was made in PUCO Case No. 22-1129-EL-ATA. Duke updated their electric tariff to reflect Commission Staff-approved language regarding a “stay out period” for governmental aggregators returning more than 5,000 customers to the SSO prior to the end of an aggregation term. The aggregator cannot offer a new opt-out aggregation for at least 12-months. This is aggregator-specific and does not prevent the individual customers from shopping.

Question: Could you help clarify who will be allocating the ARRs for Duke Ohio. In previous years, the full load for PY25/26 would have already been procured before the ARRs were allocated, with winning suppliers allocating for their portion of the load. However, since the auctions were delayed this year, none of the load will have been procured before the ARR window, meaning suppliers won’t have ARRs to allocate. Will Duke Ohio be responsible for allocating the ARRs for the entire load? The only reference I could find in the Master Agreement is in Section 3.1: "(j) Each SSO Supplier shall be solely responsible for any auction revenue rights applicable to the SSO Load that may be allocated to it. Duke Energy Ohio shall have no obligation to such SSO Supplier for auction revenue rights or financial transmission revenue rights."

Answer: For the Delivery Year 2025/2026, Duke Energy Ohio (DEO) will participate PJM ARR Allocation on behalf of the SSO load. When SSO auction is completed, DEO will transfer the new load information to PJM. The daily ARR revenue will then transfer to the new supplier in the PJM settlement system.

DEO will not participate the Annual FTR Auction on behalf of the SSO load. However, the ARR Allocation Results will be sent to the potential bidders after the ARR Allocation is completed.

Please note that we will send bidders the ARR information after April 3 when PJM finishes the ARR process.
