ESCO/Marketers who are interested in becoming EDI compliant with RG&E must meet the following requirements:

• Be identified on a list by the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) staff as Phase 1 certified.*
• Be NYISO approved (electric only).
• Successfully complete Phase III testing with RG&E.

RG&E will perform testing with up to six ESCO/Marketers at one time. This testing group is referred to as a "batch." The schedule for RG&E's testing batches is below. Please contact your RG&E representative to request and enroll in one of the following available batches.

* If an ESCO/Marketer changes 3rd party providers that ESCO/Marketer will need to recertify Phase 1 with the PSC.
