Discussion
In November 2018, the Public Utility Commission of Texas amended 16 Texas Administrative Code §25.247 and established a filing schedule for non-investor owned transmission service providers operating within ERCOT as to their transmission cost of service rates. Pedernales Electric Cooperative, Inc. (“PEC”) is a non-investor owned transmission service provider. PEC filed its last transmission cost of service rate filing in 2000, and pursuant to the amended Rule 25.247, PEC must now file a rate update no later than November 2019.
Body
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COOPERATIVE, that the Cooperative file an interim transmission cost of service rate filing pursuant to Rule 25.192(h) at the Public Utility Commission of Texas as discussed in Executive Session; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chief Executive Officer or designee is hereby authorized to take such actions as needed to implement this resolution.
