PSC Suspends Deadline For License Renewal Submissions Required From All Retail Suppliers/Brokers, No Stated Change In License Expiration Dates
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The Maryland PSC has suspended, until further notice or order, the previously established January 15, 2025 deadline for one-third of all exiting retail energy suppliers (and brokers) to file for renewal of their licenses
As previously reported, the PSC set January 15, 2025 as the date for an initial one-third of all existing retail suppliers and brokers to submit applications for renewal of their licenses.
SB1 required the PSC to set expiration dates for all existing residential retail supplier and broker licenses, with the PSC authorized to stagger the expirations over 3 years. Renewals (and new supplier licenses) will last for only 3 years
The PSC in December had established the initial one-third of retail suppliers & brokers who are subject to license expiration and who were directed to file for license renewal by January 15, 2025, with the PSC adopting for these suppliers/brokers license expiration dates occurring in the months thereafter (see more details here)
For this one-third subset of suppliers and brokers, the PSC had established staggered license expiration dates though June 30, 2025. Generally, about 40 licenses were ordered to expire each month, with an initial set of 42 licenses expiring on February 28, 2025. At the end of each subsequent month, another 40 licenses will expire, until June 30, 2025, at which time each license under this initial one-third subset of all licenses will have expired.
In suspending the renewal application deadline of January 15, 2025, the PSC did not specifically state that the PSC has modified any of the previously established license expiration dates for the initial one-third of existing suppliers and brokers, whose expirations were previously established as commencing on February 28, 2025
The PSC previously took under advisement several issues raised by retail suppliers concerning the renewal process, including whether the renewal requirement will apply to suppliers/brokers which are only licensed to serve non-residential customers (given that SB1's expiration directive only applies to residential suppliers), and also various timing considerations
