What is the difference between RFP G1-001 and G1-001A?
A. RFP G1-001 is UGI’s scheduled RFP under the approved supply plan. As long as the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approves the bids, UGI will purchase the supplies in the RFP. RFP G1-001A is an optional RFP. UGI’s Default Service plan includes a provision that allows it to purchase additional quantities of energy farther out in the future if the prices of the energy would translate into rates for residential customers that are no greater than 10% above 2009 residential rates. Based on the forward prices at the time of the RFP release, UGI thinks it is possible this threshold could be reached. Therefore, UGI issued the second RFP and if the threshold is reached and the PUC approves the bids, UGI will purchase these additional blocks of energy.
