Supplier Application & Resources

Entities that want to operate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s retail electric market and that meet the definition of an EGS must be licensed by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.  In Pennsylvania, all entities, including Supplier/Aggregators (hereinafter EGS - Suppliers) and Broker/Marketers (hereinafter EGS - Brokers), are licensed as Electric Generation Suppliers.

Notice for Electric Suppliers

Suppliers should send their electric choice annual or quarterly reports by overnight delivery to the Commission’s street address (not the post office box):

Secretary Rosemary Chiavetta
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
400 North Street
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120

This is in accordance with the Commission’s Secretarial Letter concerning reports filed under  52 Pa Code §§ 54.203, 54.39, 54.40(a), and 62.110 issued July 27, 2020, modifying the Commission’s Emergency Order at Docket Number M-2020-3019362 which has been featured on our COVID-19 page since the date of issuance.  You are instructed to retain your mailing’s tracking information as proof of your submittal.  Currently, the Commission receives mail delivery ONE day per week and staff of the Secretary’s Bureau usually visits our offices twice a week in an effort to coordinate with mail delivery.  Sometimes this is not possible, and staff will receive and process fillings when they are permitted to enter our offices. 

However, the Commission’s regulations allow us to give your filing the date you deposited it in overnight delivery, certified mail, or priority mail as the date of filing - regardless when the Commission receives the filing physically in our offices.  Emailing these reports to the Secretary does not change the filing date because the date of deposit will become the stamped in filing date. Therefore, emailing the reports to the Secretary only causes duplication and confusion.  Your tracking information is important for you to retain in the event your package does not arrive.
