New York PSC Issues Show Cause Order To ESCO, Revokes Eligibility Of Two Other ESCOs
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The New York PSC said today that it issued a show cause order to Polaris Power Services LLC (Polaris) directing Polaris to show within 30 days why its eligibility to operate as an ESCO should not be revoked or why other consequences should not be imposed, as "Commission staff" alleged that Polaris did not serve mass market customers with products that comply with the pricing limits and associated rules applicable to mass market service
In a news release, the PSC alleged, "In February of 2024, Commission staff initiated an investigation into Polaris’ customer contracts following a 2022 renewable energy review. As a result of staff's investigation to date, staff now contends that Polaris apparently failed to honor the terms of its sales agreements, requiring the ESCO to purchase a specific percentage of renewable energy credits. Staff further contends that Polaris apparently failed to enroll mass-market customers into compliant products."
A written show cause order to Polaris had not yet been issued as of publication time
"The ESCO market is an important part of our energy system," said PSC Chair Rory M. Christian. "That said, ESCOs must meet standards that are designed to ensure they benefit consumers. In instances where the ESCO does not play by the rules, the Commission will impose consequences, including potentially prohibiting them from doing business in New York State."
Separately, the PSC said that it revoked the ESCO eligibility of two ESCOs: Relief Energy LLC and Clear Green Energy LLC
Earlier, Department of Public Service Staff had alleged that Relief Energy LLC and Clear Green Energy LLC each had failed to file the required annual update to each's Retail Access Application Form, as of March 4, 2024
The PSC said in a news release today that Relief Energy LLC and Clear Green Energy LLC each failed to respond to any of Staff's information requests.
A written order for each revocation was not published as of publication time. However, based on a public docketing of filings in each case, it appears that neither Relief Energy LLC nor Clear Green Energy LLC responded to earlier formal show cause orders from the PSC concerning the matter
