Description
Argued: December 2, 2002 OPINION Dominion Retail, Inc., a natural gas supplier, appeals from the order of the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PUC) which approved the fixed sales service rate (rate FSS) proposed by Equitable, a natural gas distribution company. The PUC determined that rate FSS does not have to be reconciled under Section 1307(f) of the Public Utility Code (Code), 66 Pa. C.S. § 1307(f), and is not subject to the standards of conduct for affiliated natural gas suppliers under Section 2209 of the Code, 66 Pa. C.S. § 2209. We affirm. Natural Gas Choice and Competition Act The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed the Natural Gas Choice and Competition Act 1 (Act) in June 1999, providing for the restructuring of the natural gas industry to allow all retail consumers to choose their natural gas supplier. In the past, gas was supplied and delivered by a single natural gas distribution company serving the area. The Act allows all gas customers the option of purchasing natural gas supply services from a natural gas supplier, just as customers currently purchase electricity from an electric supplier under the Electric Choice Program.
