FAQ-6:
The Part 1 Application requires an Applicant relying on the financial standing of a Foreign Guarantor to certify that, if they become an SSO Supplier, they will supply AEP Ohio with “the sworn certificate of the corporate secretary (or similar officer) of such Guarantor that [. . .] the governing board of such Guarantor has approved the execution of the Total Exposure Amount Guaranty and the Independent Credit Threshold Guaranty.” If an Applicant cannot include the foregoing language in its certification due to the fact that the governing board of the Guarantor does not formally approve execution of guarantees because this duty is delegated to various committees/individuals, would AEP Ohio waive the requirement to make this certification?
The requirement for a bidder to represent that approval of a guaranty has come from the governing board of the Guarantor or the board’s approved designee cannot be waived. If the Applicant becomes an SSO Supplier, AEP Ohio will require the SSO Supplier in such circumstances to supply the sworn certificate(s) of the corporate secretary (or similar officer(s)) of the Guarantor that the specific committee or individual, with delegated authority from the governing board of the Guarantor to approve the execution of guarantees on behalf of the Guarantor without the need for further Guarantor board approval or action, has in fact approved the execution of the Total Exposure Amount Guaranty and the Independent Credit Threshold Guaranty on behalf of the Guarantor, consistent with, and authorized by its delegated authority from the Guarantor.
As a practical matter, the submission of this question does not constitute notice to the Auction Manager or AEP Ohio of your particular circumstances. In the Foreign Guarantor Certification Insert (#P1-G), please indicate in the space reserved for this purpose that you are unable to make one or more of the required certifications and state all reasons.
