PUC Proposes To Revoke Licenses Of 15 Retail Suppliers, Several Brokers
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The Pennsylvania PUC on February 20 issued tentative orders proposing to revoke the licenses of 15 retail energy suppliers, and several brokers, for either: (1) allegedly failing to pay either their annual or supplemental PUC fees through 2024, (2) allegedly failing to file an annual report, or (3) allegedly failing to file proof of security in the format approved by the PUC.
The tentative orders are not final, and an entity's inclusion within a tentative order should not be construed as a finding that the entity has not complied with any rule or regulation. Similar prior tentative orders from the PUC have included erroneous information
Notably, the alleged compliance deficiencies alleged in the February 20, 2025 tentative orders are as of February 11, 2025, and ostensibly would not reflect any resolution of the matters beyond such date.
With respect to natural gas, the PUC alleged that 14 retail suppliers, and several brokers, have not paid either or both of their annual or supplemental fees through 2024, and/or have not filed a 2024 Annual Report (some suppliers are alleged to have both not paid the fees and also not filed a report)
With respect to electricity, the PUC alleged that 1 retail supplier and 1 broker have failed to file proof of security in the format approved by the PUC. Inclusion in the tentative order does not necessarily mean that an electric generation supplier (EGS), with such term including brokers, does not have the required security, but rather that the PUC alleges that the EGS has not demonstrated compliance in the specific manner required by the PUC.
Entities may challenge the draft findings of the tentative orders, or otherwise come into compliance by a deadline established in the tentative orders, in order to avoid license revocation
Such tentative orders are routinely issued by the PUC, and historically most active entities within a specific order demonstrate compliance by the deadline
The identity of entities subject to the tentative orders can be found in the tentative orders linked below:
Electric tentative order - Docket M-2025-3052810
Natural gas tentative order - Docket M-2025-3052812
