Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Big Orders: Deposit Triples to Six Months
If you submit an order for more than 32 kW of power during an Ordering Window, you must now put down a deposit equal to six months' worth of the monthly recurring cost for that power, up from two months. This change is effective upon filing (September 25, 2025) and applies during the Ordering Window; the Exchange says the higher deposit would have raised the four large firms' combined deposits from $17 million to $51 million in the prior Ordering Window example. The deposit is applied to your invoices once power is delivered and is returned if you withdraw the order during the Ordering Window.
Small Orders: Two-Month Deposit Preserved
If you order 32 kW of power or less during an Ordering Window, your deposit requirement does not change: you continue to provide a deposit equal to two months' worth of the monthly recurring cost. Users ordering 32 kW or less will continue to be allocated up to 32 kW in Step 2 of the allocation process before larger orders are considered; this rule change does not alter that priority.
