Currently, there are no Billing Service Agreements in New England, but any ESCO that serves a Daily Balanced pool, which must receive Standard Pass-Through Billing, must meet creditworthiness standards. If the standards are not met, then a security deposit is calculated. For New England (KEDNE), the standard and method of calculation are specified by item 24.3 of the "Distribution Service Terms and Conditions" of the MDTE No. 4 Tariff.
