The following statement may be attributed to Richard Hudson Jr., Pennsylvania chair of the Retail Energy Supply Association:

“Members of the Retail Energy Supply Association applaud the PUC’s action. Implementation of this program is an important step in promoting a vibrant competitive market electricity market for residential and small business customers on PPL’s system.

“This program will help ensure a level playing field for new suppliers and will provide customers with the convenience of receiving a single bill from PPL. Similar programs in other states with electric competition have proven very successful in promoting a more robust competitive market.

“This is one of many steps that the Commission has taken to help facilitate the development of a competitive market and to help prepare customers for the expiration of rate caps and the transition to competition.”
