The PIPP RFP process is a solicitation by which Duke Energy Ohio is seeking to procure full requirements service for their Percentage of Income Payment Plan (“PIPP”) customers. Winning Bidders will assume all responsibilities of a Load Serving Entity (“LSE”) in PJM.

Only Competitive Retail Electric Service (“CRES”) providers certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (“PUCO” or “Commission”) are allowed to submit bids in the PIPP RFP.

The schedule for the PIPP RFPs can be found on the Calendar page of this Website.

This PIPP RFP process is separate from the competitive bidding process (“CBP”) used by Duke Energy Ohio to procure full requirements service for their Standard Service Offer (“SSO”) customers – which is load not being served by a Competitive Retail Electric Service ("CRES") Supplier and excludes load associated with customers on the Percentage of Income Payment Plan (“PIPP Customers”).
