Other Info
Submitted By: Renee Oelschleger on behalf of Joe Louis
Department: Information Technology
Financial Impact and Cost/Benefit Considerations: As discussed in Executive Session
Discussion
Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) must design and acquire a Transmission Operations Network connecting its control centers, offices and substations to an Energy Management System (EMS) as part of the build out for operation of its transmission assets. This network must be highly available and provide un-interrupted connectivity to effectively operate PEC’s transmission assets. PEC has evaluated vendors to provide such network connectivity services and recommends entering into an agreement with the Lower Colorado River Authority (“LCRA”), a political subdivision of the State of Texas.
Body
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, that the Cooperative negotiate, execute, and deliver an agreement with LCRA for transmission operations connectivity services at the term and costs as discussed this day; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chief Executive Officer, or designee, is authorized to take all such actions as needed to implement this resolution.
