FAQ-49:
If we use a digital signature to complete the Inserts, what additional document or information must be provided to verify the identity of the signatory? Can you provide an example?

The Independent Evaluator accepts digital signatures. The Inserts may be completed by digitally signing the Insert and providing along with the completed Insert an additional document or information that verifies the identity of the signatory. Additional documentation or information may include: (i) a certificate of completion if the signatory uses DocuSign; (ii) a Final Audit Report if the signatory uses Adobe Sign; (iii) evidence that the digital signature has been certified by the signatory using a document signing Certificate if the signatory uses a digital signature created in Adobe Acrobat; or (iv) other documentation or information produced by a commercially available software that can be used by the Independent Evaluator to verify the identity of the signatory. The Independent Evaluator has posted a Digital Signatures Instructions document to the Supplier Documents page of the RFP Website.

Please note that for purposes of completing an applicable Insert, a “digital” signature is one that is created using commercially available software (such as DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat, or Adobe Sign), which generates an additional document or information that can be used by the Independent Evaluator to verify the identity of the signatory. A digital signature is different from an “electronic” signature, which is computer-generated but is not created using a software that generates additional documentation or information that can be used to verify the identity of the signatory. An example of an electronic signature is an image of a signature.

FAQ-48:
The hourly load data file posted in the data room for the small commercial group is missing data from 2/1/2024 through 5/31/2024 for the AL rate class. Can PECO post this missing data?

Hourly load data for the AL rate class is not currently available due to an internal system issue that is specific to this rate class. PECO is investigating this issue. There is currently one customer on the AL rate class, and that customer is not a default service customer.

FAQ-47:
In the hourly load data file, for the CCI-GS rate schedule, the Default Energy (MWh) is negative for hours 10-13 on 10/27/2017. Also, for those same hours, in the Unaccounted For Energy (UFE) file, the Total Zone UFE (MW) is positive. Please confirm that the data is correct.

The values provided for the Default Energy (MWh) for the CCI-GS rate schedule and the Total Zone UFE in hours 10-13 on 10/27/2017 should be disregarded due to metering error.

FAQ-46:
In the hourly load data file, for the CCI-HT rate schedule, the Default Energy (MWh) values from 3/1/2024 to 3/5/2024 are negative. Can you please confirm whether the data is correct?

The values from 3/1/2024 to 3/5/2024 in the file “PECO_CCI_Hourly_Load.xlsx” on tabs ‘CCI Total Hourly Load’ and ‘CCI-HT Hourly Load’ should be disregarded due to an error in the data.

FAQ-43:
What is PECO’s two-step process to settle the hourly load obligations with each LSE and PJM?

PECO settles hourly load obligations with each LSE and PJM via a two-step process:
- Settlement A – PECO determines the estimated “day after” (delivery day) hourly load responsibility by recreating the load characteristics of the delivery day in question using a combination of available known, preliminary, and historically-based information. PECO then submits the load responsibility for all LSEs serving load on the settled day(s) to PJM in accordance with PJM procedural requirements and energy market schedules.
- Settlement B – PECO determines the final hourly load responsibility approximately 60 days after an energy delivery month by reconciling actual individual customer meter readings and applicable load profile data with the Settlement A data for that month. PECO then calculates and submits the energy variances from Settlement A hourly scheduling for all LSEs to PJM in accordance with PJM procedural requirements and energy market schedules.
PECO provides an overview of the determination of hourly load obligations on their website here: https://electricandgaschoice.force.com/s/article/Determination-of-Hourly-Load-Obligations-Overview

FAQ-42:
What data is available related to the NYPA agreement?

PECO receives an annual allocation of capacity and associated energy from the New York Power Authority and uses this allocation to offset the amount of supply needed for the Residential Class. As confirmed in FAQ-15, “Default Load for the Residential Class is reduced by a fractional percentage of committed energy and capacity obtained under contract with Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc. for supply from the New York Power Authority (“NYPA”). Default Suppliers are not responsible for providing any of the services or products included in full requirements service for NYPA supply.”

The annual allocation from NYPA is dependent on the number of residential customers PECO serves. PECO’s allocation for energy year 2024/25 is 5.848 MW. There is no other historical data available for the NYPA agreement on the RFP website.

Please see FAQ-37 for how data in the Data Room is handled in regard to NYPA.
