• FAQ-179:
  Is customer migration the only factor that causes the fluctuation in the daily PLC data posted to the Data Room of the CBP website?
  
  With reference to the daily PLC data posted online, you are correct that migration accounts for the fluctuation in the daily PLC data so that the sum of the SSO_PLC, CRES_PLC and PIPP_PLC will be constant for a given planning period beginning June 1 of a year through May 31 of the following year. Starting June 1, 2016, the daily PLC data for PIPP Customers are provided as a separate series in the data file and are no longer included as part of the daily PLC of SSO Customers. Please see FAQ-134.

• FAQ-178:
  We are a business that is authorized to receive and forward service of process on behalf of the bidder, how should we complete section 1.4 of the Part 1 Application?
  
  For purposes of completing section 1.4 of the Part 1 Application, a representative agent is a business or individual with an address in Ohio that is authorized and agrees to receive service of process on behalf of the bidder. If a company agrees to accept service of process on behalf of the Applicant, the name and the contact information of an individual from that company must be provided in Section 1.4 of the Part 1 Form and that individual must sign the certification.

  In your case, you would check the box “no” when asked “Is the Applicant’s Representative also the Applicant’s legal counsel or a representative agent?” You would then proceed to fill in the information where it asks you to “Provide the contact information for the Applicant’s Legal Counsel or Representative Agent.” Lastly, you would complete Insert #P1-4 by checking “yes” to indicate a company has been retained to accept service of process and complete Part A of the insert.

• FAQ-176:
  What is a SSO Supplier’s responsibility with respect to customers in the OPCo and CSP rate zones if the entity wins one tranche in the auction?
  
  Each tranche represents a fixed percentage of SSO Load. A supplier that wins a tranche will be responsible to provide supply to serve 1% of AEP Ohio’s SSO Customer’s load in both the Ohio Power (OPCo) and Columbus Southern Power (CSP) rate zones. SSO Customers exclude PIPP Customers.

• FAQ-175:
  Do we need to complete the PJM Requirements Insert (Insert P1-5) for the Part 1 Application? Where can I find this insert?
  
  To become a Qualified Bidder, an interested party must be qualified by PJM as a Market Buyer and Market Seller, and a PJM Load Serving Entity (“LSE”). If the Applicant is not currently qualified by PJM as a Market Buyer and Market Seller and is not a PJM LSE, then the Applicant must include the completed PJM Requirements Insert (#P1-5) with its Part 1 Application to certify that it has no impediments to become a Market Buyer, a Market Seller, and a PJM LSE by the start of the delivery period and that it undertakes to do so if it becomes an SSO Supplier.

  The PJM Requirements Insert (Insert P1-5) can be found in the zip file containing the Part 1 Inserts available on the Application Website: https://aepohiocbp-application.com/part-1-inserts/. Please submit this Insert by upload to the space reserved for this purpose in the first item of Section 1.5 of the online Part 1 Form.

• FAQ-173:
  Must all SSO Suppliers post the independent credit requirement amount (regardless of the financial position of the SSO Supplier)?
  
  No. An SSO Supplier may qualify for an unsecured credit line for purposes of the Independent Credit Requirement. The Independent Credit Threshold (“ICT”) is the amount of credit, based on the creditworthiness of an SSO Supplier or its Guarantor, if applicable, which AEP Ohio grants to such SSO Supplier to satisfy the SSO Supplier's Independent Credit Requirement (“ICR”). The ICT is determined on the basis of the entity’s credit rating and tangible net worth (“TNW”) in accordance with the matrix on page 19 of the AEP Ohio Master SSO Supply Agreement.
