Background
On May 8, 2003, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued Decision D.03-05-034 regarding the rights and obligations of Direct Access (DA) customers who return to bundled service and who transfer to DA service.
Bundled Portfolio Service (BPS)
DA customers choosing to return to bundled service for a term longer than 60 days must provide to SCE a Six-Month Advance Notice to Return to Bundled Portfolio Service prior to becoming eligible for BPS service. Customers have three business days after SCE receives their six-month advance notice to rescind the notice and remain on DA service. Customers electing BPS service make a three-year commitment and will not be eligible to return to DA service until their three-year minimum period has been completed. Customers returning to BPS service continue to be responsible for any Direct Access Cost Responsibility Charge (DA CRS) under-collection balance incurred during the period they were taking DA service. At the end of the initial three-year term, customers will have the option to return to DA service or remain on bundled service.
Direct Access (DA) Service
Customers who have fulfilled their three-year BPS commitment have the option of transferring to DA service. Customers electing to transfer to DA service after the end of the three-year BPS commitment period are required to provide to SCE six months advance notice using the Six-Month Advance Notice to Transfer to Direct Access form. Customers have three business days after SCE receives their six-month advance notice to rescind the notice and remain on bundled service. SCE will provide the customer a written confirmation and necessary switching process information within 10 business days of the customer's notice, including the final deadline for SCE to receive a Direct Access Service Request (DASR) from their Electric Service Provider (ESP) to return to DA service. Customers are responsible for providing this information to their ESP.
