Several parties have filed a stipulation that would approve the integration of the 12 percent of Rayburn Country Electric Cooperative, Inc.'s load (approximately 96 MW) that is located within the SPP into the ERCOT System.

The rest of Rayburn's load is already in ERCOT

Settling parties were Rayburn, Oncor, TIEC, and Texas PUC

Among the settlement's provisions are:

• The Signatories agree that Rayburn' s Transfer Load will be integrated into Rayburn's existing ERCOT Non-Opt-In Entity ("NOIE") Load Zone.

• The Signatories agree Rayburn will be integrated into the ERCOT System using the 138 kV integration plan identified as the Modified Alternative Option in the ERCOT-SPP Coordinated RCEC Integration Analysis - Revised Addendum filed May 18, 2018, in Project No. 47342, with an integration date of January 1, 2020, unless the integration deadline is extended by ERCOT or the Commission

• The Signatories agree that, following the integration date, Rayburn will make a hold harmless payment of $4.5 million each year for five (5) years to ERCOT wholesale transmission customers through a Wholesale Transmission Service ("WTS") Credit Rider

• As soon as the data is available, Rayburn agrees to file with the Commission the Transfer Load's 4-Coincident Peak ("4-CP") demands consistent with the ERCOT 4-CP for the year before its Transfer Load is expected to interconnect into the ERCOT System, for the purpose of calculating the overall ERCOT 4-CP and for the purpose of properly charging Rayburn for wholesale transmission service.

• Rayburn agrees it will ensure that no commingling of energy between the SPP and ERCOT systems occurs during the period leading up to the integration date, during the physical disconnection of the Transfer Load from SPP and interconnection of the Transfer Load to the ERCOT System, and all times thereafter.

• No Signatory may take any action that would cause ERCOT or a market participant within the ERCOT Region that is not a public utility under the Federal Power Act to become a public utility under the Federal Power Act or otherwise become subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("FERC") plenary jurisdiction
