EXISTING STATUTORY AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC AND GAS SUPPLY MARKETS IN MARYLAND ................................................. 3 Approximately twenty years ago, state legislation opened up residential electric and gas supply markets to competition. ................................................................................................... 3 Consumer complaints led to an investigation of one supplier’s practices, which, in turn, led to comprehensive investigations. .................................................................................................... 4 The Public Service Commission has taken preliminary and important steps to improve the way that residential electric and gas markets function. ...................................................................... 5 Energy assistance funds for low-income customers may be inefficiently used if benefits are paid to cover higher-priced supply costs .................................................................................... 6 Supplier prices have spiked significantly above electric standard offer service and gas commodity rates. ......................................................................................................................... 7 II.

PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF SUPPLIERS’ PRICES ................................................ 19 Overview of rate structures in the residential competitive supply market (rates, terms, and conditions)................................................................................................................................. 19 i Maryland’s Residential Electric and Gas Supply Markets: Where Do We Go from Here? Prices for electric and gas supply in the residential market provide valuable information about whether customers are benefiting from competitive choice ..................................................... 20 Some customers may voluntarily choose to pay higher rates to support renewable energy. .... 21 Information and transparency are key to a well-functioning market ........................................ 21 Methodology for selection of gas and electricity suppliers and supplier prices ....................... 22 Analysis of prices posted on suppliers’ websites ...................................................................... 24 Suppliers’ electric rates greatly exceed those of the standard offer. ..................................... 24 Suppliers’ gas rates greatly exceed those of the standard offer. ........................................... 29 Significant caveats about the rates posted on suppliers’ websites. ........................................... 32 IV. OTHER STATES’ EXPERIENCES WITH RESIDENTIAL ENERGY SUPPLY MARKETS ARE INSTRUCTIVE ............................................................................................... 33 Consumer harm in residential retail energy supply markets, as evidenced by state investigations and class action lawsuits as well as by high prices, is occurring throughout the country. ..................................................................................................................................... 33 Although states have expended significant legislative, regulatory, and advocacy resources to improve the way that residential electric supply markets function, some of these same states have determined that public policy challenges relating to these markets persist and merit yet further investigation. ................................................................................................................. 35 Observations about other states’ policy and proceedings ......................................................... 38 Transparency of suppliers’ rates, terms, and conditions improves efficient decision-making and inform policy making. ........................................................................................................ 38 Existing requirements in Maryland provide a foundation for transparency but are insufficient. ........................................................................................................................... 39 Examples from other states of ways to enhance transparency in Maryland’s supplier markets: ................................................................................................................................. 40 Variable rates contribute to rate shock and high bills. .............................................................. 42 Examples from other states regarding variable rates ............................................................ 42 To be truly effective, statutory and regulatory requirements need to be actively enforced and state agencies require sufficient resources to undertake those enforcement actions. ............... 43 Conclusion regarding other states’ experiences. ....................................................................... 44 V. POLICY GUIDELINES ....................................................................................................... 46 Principal policy guidelines for residential energy markets ....................................................... 46 Discussion of policy guidelines ................................................................................................ 46 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................ 47 VI. CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS ................................................................................ 48 Additional consumer protection measures are essential because energy supply markets are not, on balance, benefiting Maryland’s residential customers. ........................................................ 48 ii Maryland’s Residential Electric and Gas Supply Markets: Where Do We Go from Here? Transparency is vital to increasing opportunities for residential customers to benefit from retail competition. .............................................................................................................................. 49 Consumer protection against variable rates is essential. ........................................................... 51 Effective oversight and enforcement procedures and tools are needed to protect consumers. 51 iii Maryland’s Residential Electric and Gas Supply Markets: Where Do We Go from Here?

  • Mxenergy Adjusted Earnings Higher, Customer Attrition Rises Calif
    May 18, 2009 MXenergy Adjusted Earnings Higher, Customer Attrition Rises Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 was up for MXenergy at $48.9 million, versus $31.7 million a year ago, as higher gross margin versus the year-ago period offset higher attrition. Net income was down at $9.4 million from $25.1 million a year ago, mainly from $11 million in unrealized losses from risk management activities, versus unrealized gains of $35 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross profit was down at $57.8 million versus $86.3 million a year ago, mainly from unrealized losses. Gross profit excluding unrealized losses was up at $69.2 million versus $51.3 million a year ago. Natural gas gross profit before unrealized losses was up at $62.6 million from $48.4 million a year ago. Gross profit per MMBtu was also up at $2.61/MMBtu versus $1.79/MMBtu a year ago. Electricity gross profit excluding unrealized losses was higher at $6.6 million from $2.9 million a year ago, mainly on higher sales and customer count, driven by significant organic customer growth in Texas, Connecticut and New York versus the year-ago quarter. However, the gains were mostly seen in late fiscal 2008 and early fiscal 2009, and attrition has been higher the past six months. Gross profit per MWh during the quarter was up at $33.90/MWh from $19.15/MWh a year ago. Total Residential Customer Equivalents (RCEs) as of March 31, 2009 dropped 92,000 from the year-ago period, to 594,000.

  • The Influence of Ex-Parte Quirin and Courts
    Copyright 2008 by Northwestern University School of Law Vol. 103 Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy THE INFLUENCE OF EX PARTE QUIRIN AND COURTS-MARTIAL ON MILITARY COMMISSIONS Morris D. Davis* Professor Greg McNeal was an academic consultant to the prosecution during my tenure as the Chief Prosecutor for the military commissions at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. We had similar perspectives on many issues, and we still confer on detainee matters. I concur with the views expressed in his essay.1 I write to address two issues Professor McNeal identified and com- ment on how they affect the military commissions. First, I examine the case of the Nazi saboteurs—captured, tried, and executed in the span of seven weeks in 1942—and its influence on the decision in 2001 to resurrect military commissions. Second, I assess the conflicting statutory provisions in the Military Commissions Act and the impact on full, fair, and open tri- als. I. ATTEMPTING TO REPEAT HISTORY Professor McNeal argues that the administration chose military com- missions to protect information collected for intelligence (intel) purposes from disclosure. Safeguarding intel, particularly the sources and methods used to acquire information, was a key factor, but I believe the decision had a broader basis heavily influenced by a precedent-setting trial in 1942 that became the template for the President‘s Military Order of November 13, 2001.2 Shortly after midnight the morning of June 13, 1942, four men left a German submarine and came ashore at Amagansett Beach, New York.3 * Morris D. Davis served as Chief Prosecutor for the military commissions at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, from September 2005 to October 2007.

  • N.Y. PSC Denies Rebundling of Central Hudson Retail Access Lost Revenues Mxenergy, DPUC Staff Reach Settlement on Renewal Notice
    June 23, 2009 N.Y. PSC Denies Rebundling of Central Hudson Retail Access Lost Revenues The New York PSC denied Staff's request to rebundle retail access lost revenues at Central Hudson Gas & Electric, in a written order issued in Central Hudson's rate case. However, the Commission did order changes related to the method of collection of the electric retail access lost revenues (while not changing the allocation of cost responsibility), to prevent interclass revenue transfers from the interaction with a revenue decoupling mechanism (08-E-0887). For electricity at Central Hudson, fifty percent of forecast retail access lost revenue is recovered by adding a separate component to the Merchant Function Charge (MFC) Supply Charge on an MFC group-specific basis, which is bypassable. The remaining fifty percent is recovered through the MFC group-specific Transition Adjustment which is paid by all customers. As only reported by Matters, Staff argued that 100% of lost retail access revenues should be placed in nonbypassable delivery rates, so migrated customers bear the full costs of the POLR function, and to avoid interference with the revenue decoupling mechanism (Matters, 4/13/09). However, the Commission agreed with the ALJs' that the current 50/50 split in cost allocation is a reasonable compromise, that gives some benefit to ESCO customers while not completely absolving them for some POLR-related charges. While, "Staff is correct in noting that we left open the possibility that this sharing ratio could be changed in future rate cases ... that change should not be merely another assumption. It should be supported by a new consensus of the interested parties, or by substantive analysis which the [recommended decision] found to be lacking in this case," the Commission said.
