UGI Utilities Default Service Plan V Third Request for Proposals

UGI Utilities, Inc. – Electric Division is soliciting bids for a single load-following full requirements product to serve its default service customers with peak loads of less than 100 kW (GSR-1 Group) consisting of residential and smaller commercial and industrial customers. The RFP seeks quotes for a 12-month supply period from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, following 50% of actual hourly requirements for GSR-1 Group customers who have not elected a choice supplier. The product includes energy delivered to the UGI Residual Aggregate, capacity, ancillary services, certain transmission services, Pennsylvania Alternative Energy Credits (AECs) commensurate with load served, and other required products and services. Bids are submitted as a fixed price in U.S. dollars per MWh and are inclusive of all specified items except certain non-market-based transmission services that will be transferred to UGI following contract execution. The 50% load cap applies to the full requirements product, meaning a supplier cannot serve more than 50% of hourly requirements procured via full requirements contracts at any one time, and a supplier winning a 12-month full requirements product in one RFP cannot bid on this product in the immediately succeeding RFP.

Qualification materials must be submitted by the deadline specified in the RFP Schedule, and only bidders with complete and compliant qualification materials by 6:00 p.m. E.T. on the business day prior to the Bid Date may submit bids. Required qualification materials include the Contact Information Form (Attachment 1), PJM Qualification Certification Form (Attachment 2), a partially executed EEI Contract if not previously executed, Bid Assurance Collateral of $75,000 (cash or Letter of Credit), and signature pages of the Reliability Assurance Agreement and Operating Agreement with PJM. The Auction Manager will review qualification materials and send receipt acknowledgment and initial review results by 6:00 p.m. E.T. on the same business day if materials are received prior to 12:00 p.m. E.T. on a business day, or by 12:00 p.m. E.T. on the next business day otherwise. If materials are incomplete or require clarification, a deficiency notice will be issued with a response deadline.

Bids must be submitted using the Bid Form provided by the Auction Manager via email to UGI-DSP@NERA.com or by upload to the designated secure file transfer system during the bid window between 9:00 a.m. E.T. and 11:00 a.m. E.T. on the Bid Date (January 22, 2026). Any Bid Form received with a timestamp later than 11:00 a.m. E.T. will not be considered. The Auction Manager will confirm receipt by phone within 30 minutes of submission. All bids are ranked solely on price, with the lowest priced bid being the winning bid. In the event of a tie, the Auction Manager selects the bidder with the fewest contracts in effect across all DSP V products, or if necessary, chooses the winning bid at random. Bidders will be notified by phone by 1:00 p.m. E.T. on the Bid Date whether their bid is identified as the winning bid, with email notification following. Bid results are submitted to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission by the first business day after the Bid Date for review and approval. Bid Assurance Collateral is returned within two business days for non-winning bidders after the PaPUC decision, and within two business days following full execution of contract documents and receipt of acceptable Performance Assurance for the winning supplier. All bids must remain open until the PaPUC receives approval or rejection of bid results.
