The rule also outlines filing requirements for affiliated REPs who meet these thresholds. The proposed rule establishes eligibility requirements for price to beat customers. Under the proposed rule, residential customers are eligible for the price to beat for the entire 5 years contemplated under 39.202. Small commercial customers must not exceed peak demand of 1000 kW to remain eligible for the price to beat. Small commercial customers who exceed this threshold are ineligible for the price to beat.
Staff also proposes to include several questions in the preamble.
The first three questions relate to the advisability of the proposed methodology for setting the initial seasonal fuel factors, the procedure for adjusting these factors and the need for a minimum contract term for returning price to beat customers. Staff conducted workshops in Austin on March 24 and June 23, 2000. Staff received written comments in connection with both of these workshops.
