Each product in the Auction is divided into units called tranches, each representing the same percentage of that EDC’s BGS-RSCP load in this Auction. The MW-measure of each tranche is determined on the basis of the obligation attributable to all RSCP customers (those who receive BGS and those who do not) during 2025 (called the RSCP Peak Load Share). The EDCs do not represent that each tranche will have loads of a particular value. The actual BGS-RSCP Load will depend upon many factors including customer migration to third party suppliers and weather conditions. Bidders are responsible for evaluating the uncertainties associated with BGS-RSCP Load.

This section of the RSCP Contract Insert (#P2-2) and CIEP Contract Insert (#P2-4) requires Bidders to provide the name, title, telephone number, and email address for an individual who will witness the signature of the Supplier Master Agreement (“SMA”). This individual does not need to be a notary. The individual listed in this section should be someone who will be present during the signing of the SMA and can attest to its authenticity. This individual will sign the SMA.

The referenced text from the November 21, 2025 Board Order Approving the 2026 BGS Auction Process pertains to Class I and Class II Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”) associated with “Committed Supply” or non-utility generation power supply to which the EDCs have existing physical or financial entitlement.  Historically, the EDCs allocated these RECs from committed supply to the BGS Suppliers reducing the BGS Suppliers’ Class I and Class II RPS obligations.  At this time, PSE&G, JCP&L, ACE, and RECO each have no committed supply and thus, have no RECs associated with committed supply that would be allocated to BGS Suppliers.

Data on the Monthly Data page of the BGS Auction site is updated on or before the 17th of each month.  Data series provided on the Additional Data page of the BGS Auction website are updated less frequently. The data provided in the BGS Data Room represents the most up-to-date data available.

As stated in Section VII.A.3 of the BGS-RSCP Auction Rules, BGS-RSCP suppliers will receive adjustments to the payments for capacity for the 2028/2029 delivery year in the event that the capacity charge for this delivery year is not known prior to the BGS-RSCP Auction. If the capacity charge for the 2028/2029 delivery year is not known at least five (5) business days prior to the start of the BGS-RSCP Auction, in the period from June 1, 2028 and May 31, 2029, an EDC’s BGS-RSCP supplier will receive payment (or will be charged) based on the difference between the capacity price paid by the BGS-RSCP supplier for that EDC and the capacity proxy price approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (the “Board”) for the same EDC.  This calculation is described in the Supplement C to the BGS-RSCP Supplier Master Agreement.

On December 17, 2025, PJM released the results of the Base Residual Auction for the 2027/2028 delivery year.  As approved by the Board, the EDCs will use the results of the Base Residual Auction for the 2027/2028 delivery year to set the capacity proxy prices for the 2028/2029 delivery year.  As such, the capacity proxy price for the 2028/2029 delivery year for each EDC is $333.69/MW-day which is the Preliminary Zonal Net Load Price for the 2028/2029 delivery year.

No. Pre-Auction Letters of Credit must be submitted from the issuing bank to the BGS Auction Manager as an electronic PDF file via electronic means only.

An indicative offer specifies two numbers of tranches. The first number represents the amount that the qualified bidder is willing to serve at the maximum starting price on a statewide basis (i.e., for all EDCs combined). The second number represents the amount that the qualified bidder is willing to supply at the minimum starting price on a statewide basis. At each of the maximum and the minimum starting prices, the number of tranches indicated by the qualified bidder cannot exceed the statewide load cap.

All qualified bidders will also be required to provide their preliminary maximum interest in each EDC. The number of tranches for an EDC cannot exceed the EDC load cap. However, the sum of a qualified bidder’s preliminary maximum interest in each EDC at the maximum or minimum starting price can exceed the statewide number of tranches that the qualified bidder is willing to serve at that price, and it can also exceed the statewide load cap. Information that a qualified bidder provides regarding its interest in any particular EDC has no effect on initial eligibility or subsequent bidding in the Auction.

The BGS Auction Manager’s email, BGS-Auction@nera.com, should be used in Paragraph 12 of the Pre-Auction Letter(s) of Credit.

The issuing bank of the Pre-Bid Letter(s) of Credit and Letter of Reference must meet a minimum credit rating requirement, which requires the issuing bank to have a senior unsecured debt rating of “A” or better by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) if rated by S&P or “A2” or better by Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”) if rated by Moody’s, or “A” or better by Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) if rated by Fitch. Additionally, the Pre-Bid Letter(s) of Credit and Letter of Reference must be issued by a United States commercial bank or a foreign commercial bank with U.S. branches that are subject to the jurisdiction of New York federal or state courts.
