Entry acting to protect Ohio consumers from any adverse impacts due to the recent filing by Just Energy Solutions, Inc. and two of its affiliates, Hudson Energy Services, LLC and Interactive Energy Group, LLC, of a petition for reorganization under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Commission notes that the filing of a bankruptcy petition by a competitive retail electric and competitive retail gas supplier is rare but not unprecedented. Consumers should be assured that in no event will any consumer have electric generation or gas commodity service interrupted due to this filing. The Commission, electric and natural gas distribution utilities in Ohio, and PJM Interconnection, LLC, our regional transmission organization, all have measures in place to ensure the continued delivery of natural gas and power. However, due to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and Ohio law, the Commission cannot guarantee that contracts entered into by Just Energy Solutions, Inc., Hudson Energy Services, LLC, and Interactive Energy Group, LLC prior to the bankruptcy filing will not be impacted by the filing electronically filed by Heather A. Chilcote on behalf of Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. |
