FAQ-91:
Does a SSO supplier need an electricity retail license in Ohio to provide SSO supply under the terms of the Master SSO Supply Agreement?
No, an Applicant to the AEP Ohio CBP does not need to hold an electricity retail license in Ohio. The Applicant must either: (1) be a PJM member in good standing and qualified by PJM as a “Market Buyer” and “Market Seller” pursuant to PJM Agreements and qualified as a PJM “Load Serving Entity”; or (2) certify that there exist no impediments for the Applicant to be qualified by PJM as a “Market Buyer” and “Market Seller” pursuant to PJM Agreements and to be qualified as a PJM “Load Serving Entity” by the start of the supply period.

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.

FAQ-36:
If a bidder applied to rely on a foreign guarantor but cannot do so based on an assessment provided in the Part 1 Notification, what are the bidder's options for post-bid security if the bidder wins tranches in the Auction?
If the bidder cannot rely on its foreign guarantor, the bidder will be required to meet the creditworthiness requirements for the SSO Suppliers under section 5 of the Master SSO Supply Agreement in another way.

FAQ-21:
How is the Standard Offer Service (SSO) supplier's portion of the load transferred to the supplier's settlement account?

The supplier will schedule SSO Supply pursuant to Section 4.1(a) of the Master SSO Supply Agreement using the InSchedule Contract ID as confirmed with the EDC.
