Overview of May 1, 2018 Business and Commerce hearing – Regulated Markets
From: Walt Baum [mailto:wbaum@tppa.com]
Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2018 6:46 PM
To: wbaum@tppa.com
Subject: Overview of today's Business and Commerce hearing
Below is the link to watch the Senate Business and Commerce Committee hearing from today.
The hearing went mostly as expected. The majority of questions directed to MOUs and Coops were directed at
Austin Energy. Data Foundry (large Austin customer) gave a presentation that raised several questions with
members.
AE is working on a response to Data Foundry’s claims and other issues raised at the hearing. TPPA will also
prepare a response to committee members that we will sent out for review.
The Committee did not announce a future meeting time and did not take any actions at the end of the hearing. I
do believe they will meet again in the Fall to discuss how the market responded to summer peaks. We will see if
our issues will be a part of that hearing.
Call or email questions. Thanks to Jackie, Paula, Jim and David for their testimony and thanks to all TPPA folks
who attended the hearing.
Also below is another summary of the hearing provided Telicon.

001:00 Chairman Hancock Opening Statements:
004:00 Panel 1: DeAnn Walker, Chair PUC; Bill Magness, CEO of ERCOT, Beth Garza, Independent
Market Monitor
Chairman Walker doesn’t mention MOUs or Coops. Says the PUC not making market changes
now, will wait and get through the summer and then evaluate in the Fall whether any market
redesign if needed. She gets questions on energy only vs. capacity market.
018:00 Bill Magness: Discusses Denton plant coming online earlier than expected (though he calls it a
Garland plant) and other units coming out of mothball status.
025:00 Magness asked a question from Campbell about plants coming online. Magness references
Denton plant (though call it Garland again) and TMPA/Gibbons Creek.
031:25 Magness asked a question from Hancock on Gibbons Creek on their mothball status and how
they decided to run for this summer
Page 30 of 41
034:10 Beth Garza testimony. She doesn’t talk specifically about MOUs or Coops but good discussion
on pros and cons of energy only vs. capacity market structures. Also discussion on Production
Tax Credit for wind and solar can distort market
053:15 Schwertner mentions that many plants coming back online for this summer are MOU plants.
Asks if independent generators doing same thing. Magness answers that there is one
independent generator also coming online from mothball status.

Page 31 of 41
2:48:45 Hancock urges Webking to make sure that her REPs are adequately hedged and making good
long term decisions. She does mention that REPs that go out of business “If REPs have to exit

our offers.

2:58:40 Phillip Oldham: Non-competitive areas are “often a model that doesn’t work well with us. That

we have to rely on regulators. In case of MOUs and Coops it is hard to take our concerns to the
PUC.
3:01:15 Facilities Commission. Good testimony on AE’s contract with state. Not inflammatory.
3:05:00 Data Foundry. Inflammatory. Their 36 page presentation is attached. Asserts that AE loses over

Engineering Director/Michael Hallmark, CIP Manager
Wright provided update on Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone (EARZ) rehab process noting TCEQ
requirements. Wright noted this is a three phase project; gathering data, bidding design and then
construction. Pastor asked and Wright noted expenses are comparable to previous expenses; costs
have continued to diminish as we’ve made repairs through the first full cycle working through the
system. Motion by Pastor seconded by Copelan to approve Task Order KPA-18-008 with Kasberg,
Patrick & Associates, LP of Georgetown, Texas, for professional services related to the 2018 EARZ

Construction, LLC of Irving, Texas, for Domel Pump Station Improvements in the amount of
$100,000.00. – Wesley Wright, P.E., Systems Engineering Director/Michael Hallmark, CIP Manager
Wright provided update on project and location of pump station; former Chisholm Trail asset. He
explained during design they relied on as-built drawings to show location of piping. Due to
discrepancies, we are in need of a contract amendment. We expect this to be a not to exceed amount
of $100,000 and will monitor during construction based on what will be needed. Fought asked when
item moves to Council, it be put on Legislative agenda instead of consent; Wright noted request
would be honored. Motion by Yaeger, seconded by Pastor to approve a contract amendment with

H. Consideration and possible recommendation on an Electric Service Agreement with Waypoint Austin
Georgetown Owner, LLC for the proposed Estraya Apartments. – Wesley Wright, P.E., Systems
Engineering Director
Wright provided information on the proposed apartments. Explained location is at the edge of our
service area, which is also served by Oncor. Oncor has offered to put everything in for no charge. To
be competitive, we are proposing to match Oncor’s offer and put in the infrastructure due to the rate
of return and establishing long-term multi-family customers. We have utilities in the area. This is
coming to the board as this is a non-standard process. Fought asked and Briggs further discussed
overlap of CCN with Oncor, debt issuance, rate of return within an 8-10 year period, future
apartments, deregulation, etc. Wright further explained details of agreement included in the agenda
packet. Motion by Pastor, seconded by Copelan to approve an Electric Service Agreement with
Waypoint Austin Georgetown Owner, LLC for the proposed Estraya Apartments. Approved 6-0-1
(Maserang absent)
