Utilities Intend To Pause Work On Supplier Consolidated Billing
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, Potomac Electric Power Company, and Delmarva Power & Light Company in Maryland, which collectively referred to themselves as the "Exelon Utilities" in their filing (hereafter, "Exelon Utilities" or "Exelon utilities"), informed the Maryland PSC that the Exelon utilities intend to "pause" work on IT systems updates to implement Supplier Consolidated Billing (SCB)
The PSC previously ordered that SCB be implemented by December 31, 2024
The Exelon utilities cited the passage of SB 1, which bans purchase of receivables by utilities for residential customers
The Exelon utilities said, "It is not clear whether suppliers, none of whom have yet volunteered to test SCB with the Exelon Utilities, will choose to continue with a program such as SCB where they have no recourse of selling a customer receivable back to the utility if the receivable has not been or cannot be collected from the customer."
"Given that purchase of receivables is a fundamental component of the current SCB process, the Exelon Utilities believe it is prudent to suspend work on SCB implementation until the Commission has an opportunity to evaluate the impacts SB 1 has on SCB and provide further direction to the utilities," the Exelon utilities said
The Exelon utilities represented that Potomac Edison and Washington Gas Light agree with a pause on SCB implementation
The Exelon utilities said, "If the Commission does not agree that work on SCB implementation should be paused, the Exelon Utilities’ request that the Commission notify the Exelon Utilities as soon as practicable so that the Exelon Utilities can fulfill their contractual obligation to provide timely notice to their IT vendor."
