2025 RFP #2 - Default Service Plan (DSP V)

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved the results of the Second Request for Proposals ("2025 RFP #2") under UGI's fifth Default Service Program (DSP V) on August 1, 2025. This procurement secures electricity supply for UGI's GSR-1 Group, which includes residential and small commercial/industrial customers with peak loads below 100 kW. The solicitation sought two products: a 60-Month ATC Block and a 12-Month Fixed Price Load Following Full Requirements contract.

The 60-Month ATC Block product is an energy-only supply arrangement for 10 MW starting September 2025 through August 2030, awarded at a winning bid price of $42.25/MWh. The 12-Month Fixed Price Load Following product covers 50% of the remaining GSR-1 default service load after accounting for the ATC Block energy and capacity allocations from the New York Power Authority, with a supply period from December 2025 through November 2026, awarded at $83.58/MWh. The load following obligation ensures full requirements supply for the designated customer share.

Key dates include the PUC approval on August 1, 2025 (Secretarial Letter available on the PUC website), the start of the ATC Block supply in September 2025, and the start of the Fixed Price product in December 2025. The procurement supports UGI's obligation to provide default service to customers who have not selected a competitive supplier, in accordance with Pennsylvania law and the DSP V framework approved by the Commission.

Vendors interested in similar future solicitations should monitor UGI's default service program announcements and the Pennsylvania PUC dockets. The awarded contracts demonstrate pricing benchmarks for longer-term energy-only blocks and shorter-term full-requirements load following service within the Pennsylvania electricity market.
