The Pennsylvania PUC on August 31 issued another tentative order proposing to cancel the licenses of 7 retail suppliers licensed to serve load, and 10 brokers, for their alleged failure to provide proof to the Commission, in a format required by the PUC, that the company has a bond or other approved security in the amount directed by the Commission, to replace its expired bond

The tentative order is not final and may be contested by the companies

Similar PUC tentative orders in the past have listed companies as failing to file security with the PUC when the companies had, in fact, done so. For that reason, we will not excerpt the list of companies here, but the list may be found in this PUC order, in Docket M-2017-2584781.

Indeed, the August 31 tentative order states that its data is based on information received by the PUC as of August 22, 2017, so it may not reflect any proof of security received since August 22, (which may not have been in compliance with deadlines but nevertheless shows the issue may have been rectified already)

We again caution that a company's inclusion on the tentative order list should not necessarily be taken as an indication of non-compliance, particularly as the PUC has erroneously included multiple fully compliant companies in a prior tentative order
