FAQ-78:
How many reasonable arrangement customers are taking service under SSO? Also, please provide the peak load (MW) for the reasonable arrangement customers under SSO.
There are three (3) customers under Reasonable Arrangements in the AEP Ohio service territory that have been approved by the Public Utility Commission of Ohio (“Commission”) under R.C. 4905.31. Since the end of 2014, the Commission has approved requests from all three (3) of these Reasonable Arrangement customers to begin purchasing capacity and energy from CRES providers. These customers have obtained confidential treatment and have secured protective orders relative to their agreements. Information that is publicly available related to these filings are available from the Commission. The aggregate load that can purchase capacity and energy from CRES providers under these approvals from the Commission is approximately 347.5 MW.Should these customers purchase energy and capacity from CRES providers, these customers would continue to have Reasonable Arrangements with AEP Ohio for purposes of purchasing transmission and distribution service and their contract termination dates are: June 1, 2015 for the Globe Metallurgical arrangement; January 1, 2019 for the Eramet Marietta arrangement; and December 31, 2015 for the TimkenSteel Corporation arrangement. Any migration by a Reasonable Arrangement customer to a CRES provider is reflected in the hourly load data posted to the CBP website as would any other migration of customers from SSO to a CRES provider.

FAQ-65:
As of 12/31/2014, the SSO Peak Load Contribution ("PLC") is 39.89% (3502/8780) of the total AEP Ohio PLC, based off of the PLC data in the Data Room. The delivery year 2015/16 SSO PLC value of 2,954.03 MW provided in the Bidder Webcast is based on five highest coincident peaks in 2014. I am trying to estimate the total PLC for AEP Ohio based on both shopping and SSO customers. Can you please confirm whether or not the 2954.03 MW has been weather normalized? Could you please provide the total PLC of AEP Ohio based on both shopping and SSO customers?
As noted previously in the Webcast, and FAQs 52 and 53, the PLC value of 2,954.03 MW provided in AEP-Ohio’s March 23, 2015 Bidder Webcast was based on AEP-Ohio’s total Standard Service Offer (SSO) at the time of the five highest coincident peaks experienced by PJM in 2014 for SSO (non-shopping only) customers as of December 31, 2014. AEP Ohio is not performing or providing any analysis with this number. The estimated MW-measure of 2,954.03 is provided for reference purposes only. As indicated in the webcast and in earlier FAQ responses, the amount of actual quantity to be delivered depends on many factors. These factors include, without limitation, migration of SSO-customers, and PJM Manual 19 weather adjustments. Consistent with the response provided in FAQ 52, it is the responsibility of the bidder to interpret possible reasons for PLC changes from year to year, and this would include, without limitation, migration and PJM’s weather normalization. Additionally, a total PLC for PY 15/16 for AEP Ohio for both Competitive Electric Retail Service (“CRES”) and SSO customers is not available.

FAQ-62:
How will any incremental costs related to PJM’s Capacity Performance Product, if approved by the FERC, need to be incorporated into bids?
On December 12, 2014, PJM filed reforms to the Reliability Pricing Market (“RPM”) in regards to the Capacity Performance Product in Docket ER15-623. Additionally, on April 10, 2015, PJM filed a response to FERC’s letter dated March 31, 2015 that informed PJM that its initial proposal was deficient and requested additional information. In this response, PJM is requesting that the FERC accept the reforms effective April 1, 2015 as initially proposed, so that PJM can implement these changes for the 2018/2019 Base Residual Auction.
Neither the Auction Manager nor AEP Ohio can comment on this product or when it will be implemented. Bidders and SSO Suppliers are entirely responsible for investigating potential market changes in PJM and for any other circumstances or factors that may affect their evaluation of providing full requirements to AEP Ohio’s SSO customers. As stated in the Recitals of the Master Standard Service Offer (“SSO”) Supply Agreement, “each SSO Supplier will satisfy its Capacity obligations under the PJM Agreements associated with its respective SSO Supplier Responsibility Share in accordance with the PJM Agreements, including, without limitation, through participation in the base residual auction and incremental auctions administered by PJM.”
Additionally, please see Paragraph 3.1(d), which states “during the Term, each SSO Supplier is responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for any changes in PJM products and pricing required for the delivery of its SSO Supplier Responsibility Share, including all other costs and expenses related to transmission and Ancillary Services in connection with the provision of SSO Supply in proportion to its SSO Supplier Responsibility Share, except for any changes to products or the pricing of such products that are the responsibility of AEP Ohio pursuant to Section 3.2.” Thus, to the extent that PJM introduces a change to its capacity market structure in the form of a Capacity Performance Product or in some other manner, SSO Suppliers are responsible for any increase or decrease in capacity costs that would result.
