PJM 00006

Question: In a follow-up to another PJM FAQ, are PIPP Suppliers paid on PJM FE Zonal load applicable to PIPP Supply, which reflects marginal loss deration and distribution losses (incremental load to bridge the difference between load at the wholesale level and the retail meter)? Will the Companies pay PIPP Suppliers on the same load amounts that PJM relies on for settlement?

Answer: As stated in the Master PIPP Supply Agreement, the PIPP Suppliers are responsible for the expenses related to both transmission and distribution losses. The Companies will pay PIPP Suppliers on the same load amounts that PJM relies on for settlement, which is load that does not include transmission losses (marginal loss deration). PIPP Suppliers will be delivering load to the Companies that includes distribution losses and will be settling with PJM financially for transmission losses.

PJM 00007

Question: Please confirm that, consistent with the requirement for bidders to be LSEs under all "applicable" rules, bidders do not have to be LSEs registered with NERC, as the Companies -- and not bidders -- are the entities that own and/or operate physical power system assets/wires for distribution to PIPP customers.

Answer: The Load-Serving Entity (LSE) is no longer a functional entity registration category that is covered by North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability standards as it was viewed to be more of a commercial market function. On October 15, 2015 FERC issued an order (RR15-4-001) accepting a proposal by NERC to eliminate the Load-Serving Entity (LSE) function from the registry criteria and to revise the NERC Rules of Procedure (ROP). NERC coordinated with the North American Energy Standards Board (NAESB) to ensure LSE market functions were covered by NAESB standards. The Companies who own and/or operate physical power system assets/wires for distribution service to SSO customers are registered as Distribution Providers (DP) and are obligated to comply with NERC reliability standards. 

PJM 00008

Question: Does the PIPP Supplier deliver energy to the ATSI Zone or the FEOHIO_RESID_AGG?

PJM 00009

Question: According to FERC Order 745, all RTOs allowing Demand Response in energy markets must pay Demand Response Resources full LMP at all hours. The cost of such a program is allocated to load. Is the cost associated with FERC Order 745 the responsibility of the FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities?

Answer: No, the cost associated with FERC Order 745 is not the responsibility of the FirstEnergy Ohio Utilities. Pursuant to the Master PIPP Supply Agreement, any market-based cost allocated to load is the responsibility of the Load Serving Entities, which includes the winning bidder in the PIPP RFP.
