Applicant shall also electronically serve a Word version of its response on the Administrative Law Judge (jalbers@icc.illinois.gov) by the date indicated. General Requirements 1. 83 III. Adm. Code 451.30(c)(1) indicates that Applicant shall provide a description of its business. In paragraph 8 of its application, Applicant provided a description of its proposed future business but did not provide a description of any current business activities. To the extent that Applicant has engaged in any business activities unrelated to this pending ARES application, Applicant must provide a description of its current business to ensure that there is no conflict between its current business and its proposed future business as an ARES. Technical Requirements 2. 83 III. Adm. Code 451.230(b) indicates that Applicant shall be deemed to possess sufficient technical capabilities to serve retail customers identified in Subpart C if it has at least one individual on its Staff with two years experience buying and selling power and energy in wholesale markets and six months of scheduling experience working for an entity that is either a member of PJM, a market participant in the Midwest ISO, or has a system operator certificate from NERC, or has earned Certified Energy Procurement Professional status by the Association of Energy Engineers or equivalent certification. In addition, 83 III. Adm. Code 451.230(d) indicates that Applicant shall include in its application an exhibit that identifies, by name and job title, the persons on its staff, and agents or contractors utilized pursuant to Section 451.250, with the technical experience required under this Subpart C. The exhibit shall provide a description of the relevant occupational experience for each person, including a description of the duties and the duration of the duties being used to meet each experience requirement of Section 451.230.
