AllEnergy Marketing Company, LLC Request to Abandon NGS License; A-125057 Tentative Order By the Commission:
Now before the Commission is a letter filed by AllEnergy Marketing Company, LLC (AllEnergy) on April 8, 2002. The letter states that AllEnergy is no longer engaged in the sale of utility products in this Commonwealth and does not object to the termination of its natural gas supplier (NGS) license. The Commission's Fiscal Office states that there are no outstanding assessments or fines pending against AllEnergy.
On November 30, 1999, AllEnergy filed an application for an NGS license. By order entered January 27, 2000, the Commission granted AllEnergy a license to serve commercial and industrial customers within the service territories of Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc., The Peoples Natural Gas Company, PG Energy, Inc., Equitable Gas Company, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation, UGI Utilities, Inc., PECO Energy Company, PFG Gas, Inc., Carnegie Natural Gas Company, T. W. Phillips Gas & Oil Company and NUI Valley Cities Gas within this Commonwealth.
On April 8, 2002, AllEnergy submitted a letter to the Commission in response to a telephone conversation with Commission staff. In the letter, AllEnergy states that it had transferred substantially all of its assets and obligations involved in the sale of natural gas and electricity to a subsidiary, AllEnergy Gas & Electric Marketing Company, LLC. It further states that it then sold that subsidiary to another company in 2000 and that it is no longer engaged in the sale of utility products in this Commonwealth. AllEnergy further states that in the conversation Commission staff indicated that the Commission might terminate its NGS license and that AllEnergy does not object to a termination. By letter, dated May 7, 2002, Commission staff requested information from AllEnergy regarding its exit from this Commonwealth. AllEnergy failed to respond to the letter and attempts to contact AllEnergy by telephone were fruitless. For these reasons, we will issue a Tentative Order canceling the NGS license held by AllEnergy. We will publish the Tentative Order in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. If no objection is raised within 30 days of publication, then the Tentative Order will become final by operation of law; Therefore,
It Is Ordered That:
1. The NGS license held by AllEnergy Marketing Company, LLC at Docket No. A-125057 is hereby cancelled.
2. Notice of this Tentative Order shall be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. In the event no objections, exceptions or comments are filed to this Tentative Order within 30 calendar days of publication, the Tentative Order shall become a final order by operation of law without further action by this Commission.
3. Upon this Tentative Order becoming final, the Secretary shall strike the name of AllEnergy Marketing Company, LLC from all active utility lists maintained by the Annual Report Section of the Secretary's Bureau and the Assessment Section of the Bureau of Administrative Services.
4. A copy of this Tentative Order be served on the Office of Consumer Advocate, the Office of Small Business Advocate and all natural gas distribution companies.
5. A copy of this Tentative Order be served on the Department of Revenue, Bureau of Corporation Taxes.
