Subject:

The Commission is considering whether to approve, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, a Purchase of Accounts Receivables (POR) program to be implemented by KeySpan Gas East Corporation d/b/a KeySpan Energy Delivery Long Island (KEDLI) for Gas Service. On December 21, 2007, the Public Service Commission (Commission) issued an Order in Case 06-G-1186 (Order Adopting Gas Rate Plans for KeySpan Energy Delivery New York and KeySpan Energy Delivery Long Island) adopting the terms of the Gas Rates Joint Proposal filed October 11, 2007 subject to certain conditions. The Joint Proposal required "KEDLI to implement a POR program for ESCOs active in its service territory that are participating in the consolidated billing program" and "work collaboratively with ESCOs and other interested parties in establishing the other terms of a non-recourse POR program, a mechanism to address customer disputes with ESCO charges that have been purchased by KEDLI as receivables, and any necessary revisions to the consolidated billing agreement".
There have been several filings, comments by the parties on specific issues, and multiple in-person and teleconference meetings. A Company proposed Billing Services Agreement and Staff prepared summary of the program components for the KEDLI program constitutes the express terms.
