The change was accepted for filing with an effective date of June 26, 2025.

Staff said the revised tariff pages use the calculation method consistent with the initial tariff filing that authorized SMECO to offer service under schedule WSSC on July 13, 2022. The filing reflects the site's transition following construction of a bioenergy facility and a change in the plant's load profile from a full-requirements customer to a supplemental service customer.

Damon Kroeger, representing SMECO, thanked staff for its analysis and said SMECO was available to answer questions. Commissioners commented on SMECO's procurement features; one commissioner highlighted SMECO's use of bilateral agreements and hedges as an example of practices that can enhance resource adequacy and reduce reliance on capacity markets.

The commission voted to accept the tariff revisions for filing with an effective date of June 26, 2025.

Staff said BGE filed the change after reviewing the requirements in Senate Bill 1 to create a do-not-transfer list and concluded that it is no longer appropriate for BGE to sell a residential customer list to retail suppliers. David Hapock, on behalf of staff, told commissioners that removing the residential customer list avoids the cost and operational complexity of syncing two lists and that staff recommended the commission accept BGE’s proposal with an effective date of June 18, 2025.

Mila and Teclamikayo, speaking on behalf of the Office of People's Counsel, also supported the filing. They said eliminating the residential customer list would reduce the risk that retail suppliers contact customers who have asked to be placed on the do-not-transfer list but remain on a separate residential list maintained by the utility. \"BGE's proposal seems like the best economically efficient method to reconcile this issue,\" they said.

A BGE representative, identified in the transcript as Ms. Cora, thanked staff for its analysis and said BGE agreed that removing the list from the tariff was the prudent decision given the potential cost of syncing lists and the risk of customer contact conflicts.

Staff told the commission it contacted other utilities about their practices: Pepco and Delmarva historically did not offer such lists; Potomac Edison offered an opt-in \"interested customer\" list and intends to stop providing it by the end of 2025; Washington Gas Light (WGL) intends to continue providing a customer list and said it would ensure customers on the do-not-transfer list are not on its residential customer list. Staff noted Potomac Edison and WGL do not charge for their lists, while BGE did charge for the residential list.

The commission voted to accept the company's proposal, effective June 18, 2025, and directed BGE to file clean tariff pages. The motion passed with Commissioners Litton, Barbay, Richard and Chair Hoover recorded as voting \"aye.\"","The Public Service Commission accepted Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.'s proposal to remove the option for retail suppliers to purchase a residential customer list from its supplier coordination tariffs, effective June 18, 2025; staff and the Office of People's Counsel supported the change.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6514458,"Public Service Commission approves multiple supplier license changes, notes filings and cancels one license",46,898000,944000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5029397-0acd09ebf161b916b6748ce9d0d15245&start=898&end=944","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5029397-0acd09ebf161b916b6748ce9d0d15245/thumbnail_898000.jpg","/articles/6514458/Maryland/Public-Service-Commission-approves-multiple-supplier-license-changes-notes-filings-and-cancels-one-license","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514458-7c31cd8924f099688f809ff03fba4e41/orig.mp4?Expires=1771182677&Signature=PJRufOCMXTjf8Eb2zubmmKR8749yfompXHF~4h4yie8q6-qCLnVbVoy7sDikEq5-Jwcsee~BmqqPwz~u~7USg2Xq14n-E4Jifx9Z3ZPa6e2s-pz0J8N2g3lYyWjitEzK9CPTXQh608YksTRHtsixd-xwKu6-PTCva2uKrcMGNINnVAB~VJsVWwU~W90F-jseBczpfMTw79PYTv2OX71LPBmfTu5ygHdtXnpQNc2txiuN8Ucvxm6fuLA3P6CusLMc1EyJXo~HlPsdFEYVwpE3dOPDGA018IorDttIpnlf01JfoIGCFaTAxc~TbefYPslsTPxaAkSwGO6RKhWHabOqYg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Maryland Public Service Commission on June 18, 2025 approved a set of consent items that removed residential-serving permissions for several energy suppliers, noted two filings and canceled one supplier license.

The consent calendar included requests to remove the ability to serve residential customers from electricity supplier licenses for three companies, a similar removal for a natural gas supplier license, a joint notice from two communications firms and a bond-cancellation notice that led to a license cancellation. The commission voted unanimously on the consent items after a motion by Chair Hoover; Commissioner Litton voted aye on these items after previously abstaining on a different matter from the June 11, 2025 meeting.

Why it matters: the changes remove the specific authorization for certain suppliers to solicit or serve residential customers under their supplier licenses, which affects how those companies may market and provide service to residential accounts in Maryland.

Key actions approved
- Energy Auction Exchange LLC (electricity supplier): removed permission to serve residential customers; motion carried (all commissioners present voted aye).
- Achieve Energy Solutions LLC (electricity supplier): removed permission to serve residential customers; motion carried (aye).
- Clear Energy Inc. (electricity supplier): removed permission to serve residential customers; motion carried (aye).
- Natural gas supplier (company not specified in transcript): removed permission to serve residential customers; motion carried (aye). The transcript did not identify the company by name.
- Broadview Networks Inc. and PEG BandwidthMD LLC: joint filing noted by the commission; no further action taken.
- Optimal Facility Management Solutions LLC (CNA Surety bond cancellation): commission moved to cancel the company's electricity supplier license; motion carried (aye).

The motions were moved and put to a roll-call voice vote; the record shows Commissioners Litton, Barbay, Richard and Chair Hoover voting \"aye\" on the consent items noted above. The commission did not discuss substantive changes to rates or tariffs in these consent items during the meeting.

The meeting then proceeded to separate tariff filings (see related articles on BGE and SMECO tariff items).","The Maryland Public Service Commission approved changes to electricity and gas supplier permissions for several companies, noted two filings and canceled one supplier license during its June 18, 2025 administrative meeting.","actionData","errors"]
