16 Tex. Admin. Code § 25.215 - Terms and Conditions of Access by a Competitive Retailer to the Delivery System of a Municipally Owned Utility or Electric Cooperative that has Implemented Customer Choice
(a) Purpose. The
purpose of this section is to implement Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA)
§39.203 as it relates to the establishment of non-discriminatory terms and
conditions of access by competitive retailers to the delivery systems of
municipally owned utilities and electric cooperatives that have implemented
customer choice. Retail delivery service, including delivery service to a
retail customer at transmission voltage, shall be provided directly to retail
customers by a municipally owned utility or an electric cooperative that has
implemented customer choice. A municipally owned utility or an electric
cooperative that has implemented customer choice shall provide retail delivery
service in accordance with the rates, terms and conditions set forth in the
delivery service tariffs promulgated by the municipally owned utility or an
electric cooperative.
(b)
Application. This section and the pro-forma access tariff set forth in
subsection (d) of this section govern the terms and conditions of access by
competitive retailers at the point of supply to retail customers connected to
the delivery systems of municipally owned utilities and electric cooperatives
that have implemented customer choice.
(c) Access tariff. Not later than the 90th
day before the date customer choice is offered, each municipally owned utility
or electric cooperative in Texas shall file with the Public Utility Commission
of Texas (commission) its access tariff governing access by competitive
retailers to retail customers connected to the delivery system of the
municipally owned utility or electric cooperative using the pro-forma access
tariff in subsection (d) of this section. A municipally owned utility or an
electric cooperative may add to or modify only Chapters 2 and 5 of the access
tariff, reflecting individual characteristics and rates. Chapters 1, 3, and 4
of the pro-forma access tariff shall be used exactly as written; these Chapters
can be changed only through the rulemaking process. The access tariff, however,
shall contain the name of the municipally owned utility or electric cooperative
