Citing Past Experience, Texas REPs Express Concern With Timing For Any Sharyland TCRF Changes
May 27,2015 A group of Texas retail electric providers have expressed concern with the timing of the implementation of any change in Sharyland Utilities, LP's Transmission Cost Recovery Factor allocation factors, which would result in a change in the TCRFs charged to REPs As previously reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com, Sharyland Utilities has applied at the PUCT to change the TCRF allocation factors to remove inter-class subsidies, which will result in a lower TCRF for all classes except the Primary Non-IDR class, which will see an increase in its TCRF. Without taking a position on the specific TCRF allocation factors, the REP Group requested the PUCT process the case in a manner that allows Sharyland's next transmission cost recovery factor (TCRF) adjustment to occur on September 1, 2015 with an approximate 45-days' advance notice to retail electric providers consistent with the procedural requirements in PUC Subst. R. 25.193(b)(1). The REP Group, while not requesting a hearing itself, supported a motion from OPUC that any hearing be heard by the Commission, rather than SOAH "The recent history of Docket No. 43865, which addressed Sharyland's last TCRF update application filed pursuant to PUC Subst. R. 25.193(b)(1), validates the concerns expressed by the REP Group in this Statement of Position," the REPs said. "In that proceeding, the Commission referred Sharyland's application to SOAH and materially failed to meet the aforementioned timeline requirements in the rule. In Docket No. 43865, Sharyland filed its application to update its TCRF rates on December 1, 2014 and sought an effective date of March 1, 2015, consistent with PUC Subst. R. 25.193(b)(1). To facilitate this timeline, the rule required the issuance of a final order on Sharyland's application by January 15, 2015, but one was not entered until March 10, 2015. This final order approved updated TCRF rates, which had been established on an interim basis by the SOAH ALJ's order issued February 9, 2015 pursuant to a settlement agreement .The REP Group requests that the Commission not repeat any similar delay in the issuance of a final order and/or any similar truncation in the advance notice period preceding any rates approved on an interim or final basis with respect to Sharyland's next TCRF adjustment."
