• FAQ-305:
  Is there a formal process managed by the Auction Manager or AEP Ohio under the competitive bidding process for stakeholders to propose modifications or request changes to the Master SSO Supply Agreement?
  
  On January 6, 2023, AEP Ohio filed an Application seeking to implement its fifth Electric Security Plan (“ESP V”) for a period to commence on June 1, 2024 and end on May 31, 2030 (Case No. 23-23-ELSSO). On September 6, 2023, AEP Ohio and other parties to the proceeding filed a Joint Stipulation and Recommendation (“Stipulation”) recommending that the Commission approve AEP Ohio’s application as modified by the Stipulation. The Stipulation, among other things, modified the term of ESP V to commence on June 1, 2024 and end on May 31, 2028. This proceeding is ongoing as AEP Ohio’s Application and Stipulation are still under consideration by the Commission.

  Regarding the November 2023 Auction, on September 15, 2023, AEP Ohio filed a Motion for Interim Relief to conduct a November 2023 Auction consistent with the competitive bidding process approved in AEP Ohio’s ESP IV (“Motion for Interim Relief”). On September 20, 2023, the Commission issued an Entry approving AEP Ohio’s Motion for Interim Relief to hold a November 2023 auction. The terms of and process for qualifying as a supplier under the Master SSO Supply Agreement were previously established and approved by the Commission when AEP Ohio’s ESP IV was approved and AEP Ohio is not able to make modifications to the Master SSO Supply Agreement for this November 2023 Auction as it must use the Master SSO Supply Agreement approved thereunder.

  AEP Ohio’s Application for ESP V provides details regarding future auctions in 2024 and beyond and remains under consideration by the Commission. Details of the ESP V Application and Stipulation are available at the Commission’s website. There is no formal process managed by the Auction Manager or AEP Ohio under the competitive bidding process for stakeholders to propose modifications to or request changes to the Master SSO Supply Agreement.
