The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) approved Thursday a tariff supplement submitted by UGI Utilities – Electric Division (UGI) in response to the PUC’s November 2018 electric vehicle (EV) policy statement.
The Commission approved the filing 5-0.
The PUC’s policy statement clarifies that third-party electric vehicle charging is providing a service and is not considered resale of electricity under the Public Utility Code. The statement aims to reduce uncertainty and provide increased consistency among electric distribution companies (EDCs) to promote increased investment in EV charging infrastructure in the state. The commissioners noted that technological advancements, including the growing number of EVs, are changing how consumers use electricity and that it’s important for utilities to address these changes.
UGI is the eighth EDC in Pennsylvania to modify its tariff to address third-party EV charging stations. The PUC approved filings by the four FirstEnergy companies in February 2019, filings by Duquesne Light and PECO in March 2019 and a filing by PPL in April 2019.
