Title
Consider a resolution denying an application for approval of a rate change submitted by Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC and authorizing participation in proceedings at the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Body
On April 3, 2020, Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC applied to increase rates that would increase its annual revenues by approximately $76 million. Oncor proposes to implement this increase on September 1, 2020.
The City is a franchising city and a member of the Alliance of Oncor Cities (AOC) with legal representation from Herrera Law & Associates, PLLC (through Mr. Alfred R. Herrera) in rate matters involving Oncor. The AOC is a 25-member coalition that includes Pflugerville, Denton, Hillsboro, and various other member cities served by Oncor. The City’s involvement is similar to that with Atmos where the City is part of a coalition to examine and monitor rate filings on behalf of its citizens.
This resolution denying the rate change is designed to give the City, through participation in the AOC, more time for a detailed review of Oncor’s application and to request additional information as necessary to fully evaluate the proposal and determine the most appropriate response.
