entity market power. 16
393.2021. 1. Consistent with the time frame for 1
choosing a retail electric supplier pursuant to sections 2

of such rate class is supplied by the electric supply 30
established by the competitive procurement process, the 31
commission shall initiate a proceeding within three months 32
of when the less than sixty percent threshold was reached to 33
phase out the electric supply established by the competitive 34
procurement process and replace it with the hourly priced 35
default supply service. 36
5. Default supply service for residential customers 37
shall commence with a rate set annually through a 38
competitive procurement process along with any additional 39
costs incurred in the provision of such services by the 40

than fifty percent threshold was reached to phase out the 46
electric supply established by the competitiv e procurement 47
process and replace it with the hourly priced default supply 48
service or another default supply service approved by the 49
commission. 50
6. The competitive procurement processes under this 51
section shall consist of a wholesale power auctio n or 52
similar competitive process to establish a clearing price or 53
rate including electric supply, capacity, transmission, 54
ancillary services, and other services identified by the 55 SB 487 11
commission, for the retail customers in each rate class that 56

process to phase out the default supply service with an 87 SB 487 12
alternative electric supply service provided by one or more 88
retail electric suppliers for th e purpose of supplying 89
retail customers in the rate class who do not choose a 90
retail electric supplier. 91
393.2024. 1. The commission may establish a separate 1
process for the supply of electric supply service for energy 2
assistance customers in each electric utility service 3

bidding process under this section shall offer a price at or 14
below the default supply service rate set annually through a 15
competitive procurement process for residential customers 16
for the same or similar term length. If the electric supply 17
service chosen by a competitive procurement process for 18
default supply service is replaced with an hourly default 19
supply service, the commission may institute an alternative 20
pricing threshold for purposes of the energy assistance 21
customer aggregation program under this section. 22
4. Energy assistance customers shall have the ability 23
to opt-out of the electric supply service aggregation 24
program. If the energy assistance customers choose to opt - 25
out, such customers shall no longer be eligible for any 26
energy assistance relief. 27 SB 487 13
