The Texas Energy Association for Marketers (TEAM) and Alliance for Retail Markets (ARM), known collectively as the REP Coalition, have urged the Texas PUC to address a pending partial appeal of an ALJ's order regarding the notification requirements related to their petition. The petition seeks to have the PUC designate the new ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service (ECRS) as an ancillary service product, allowing REPs to apply a one-time price adjustment to fixed-rate contracts signed before this new service's implementation.

The REP Coalition has appealed the ALJ's order that mandates REPs to publish petition notices in local newspapers and on their websites, deeming these requirements unprecedented and not in line with the PUC's rules. The Commission has decided to extend the time to act on this appeal, postponing the resolution of the notice issue, which must be settled before the substantive considerations of the petition can move forward. The REP Coalition emphasizes the necessity of promptly addressing the notice issue to proceed efficiently with the case.
