Public Service Commission approves multiple supplier license changes, notes filings and cancels one license
Summary
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.
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).
