In the Commission’s May 17, 2012 Order in Case 11-E-0594 (May 2012 Order), Penelec was allowed to collect and credit all costs associated with NUG contracts through its NUG Rider. The May 2012 Order required Penelec to make a filing with the Commission within ninety days after the expiration of Penelec’s last NUG contract. The May 2012 Order required Commission action to resolve the final reconciliation of NUG contract costs. Penelec’s last significant NUG contract expired on May 15, 2020. Penelec filed a letter requesting to terminate the NUG Rider on August 13, 2020, but the letter was not addressed by the Commission. On April 30, 2021 Penelec filed its NUG Rider rate with an effective date of June 1, 2021 to refund the estimated over-collection to customers over the NUG Rider rate period ending Mary 31, 2021. Penelec proposes to continue the NUG Rider rate until the over-collection has been fully refunded. Penelec proposes to set the NUG rate to zero on one day’s notice when the over-collection is fully refunded.
