Become an Approved Supplier

This section will help you become an approved Gas Energy Supplier, as well as provide additional information for our Gas Retail Access Program. There are three steps to becoming a gas supplier.

Please obtain approval from the following:

New York State Department of Public Service (PSC):Energy Supply Company Retail Access Application Instructions.

ESCO - Retail Access Application for Energy Supply Companies

Once you are approved by the PSC, please complete our tariff application form for either or both the NY or Long Island territories, along with the GTOP Seller Service agreement, two signed originals of the NAESB contract for the applicable territory, two signed originals of the Capacity Release Agreement for the appropriate territory, the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance Resale Certificate ST-120 for the appropriate territory, and a taxpayer W-9 form.

Once we receive these applications, the approval process to determine credit worthiness will begin.

 

*Note: please reach out to Greg Accardo prior to completing the forms for the most current versions as they change frequently.


Mail originals of the application, taxpayer form, and the Certification letter to:

National Grid

Once the application and creditworthiness requirement are satisfied you must complete EDI Phase III testing with the company.

You will be required to post a cash deposit based on the level of testing required which will accrue interest, and be refunded at the time of commencing retail sales in the Company's service territory. If, for any reason the ESCO fails to commence retail operations within three months of completing EDI testing, the deposit will be forfeited to the Company.

  • EDI Core Transactions only: $5,000
  • EDI Core Transaction and Single Bill Testing: $10,000
 

Please complete the following form:

EDI Pre-testing Request (doc) - Complete and Return via e-mail to the addresses listed above.

For additional information on EDI Data Dictionaries and Implementation guides you can refer to the following PSC link:  http://www.dps.state.ny.us/98m0667_current.htm

If you have any questions about completing these forms, please contact the representatives listed in Step Two.

Once the above steps are met, we will notify the PSC that you are eligible to participate in our Gas Retail Access program. Your name will also be added to our Energy Supplier list and website.
