Discussion
Pursuant to Chapter 37 of the Texas Utilities Code, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUC”) requires a certificate of convenience and necessity (“CCN”) for an electric cooperative (and other utilities) to serve the public in its service territory. For an electric cooperative to provide service to a consuming facility outside of its territory, an application for a service area exception must be filed with and approved by the PUC. Applications for service are submitted by prospective members and agreed to by the CCN holder where the service will be provided and by the entity that will be providing service.
Body
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COOPERATIVE, that the Cooperative file an appropriate application for a service area exception with 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.
