Residential Customer Attrition at TXU Accelerates Duke Energy Says It Is
August 5, 2009 Residential Customer Attrition at TXU Accelerates TXU Energy continued to lose residential customers in the second quarter, which eventually prompted a price reduction last week, parent Energy Futures Holdings said during an earnings call. While margins remain in TXU's 5-10% target, the retailer had seen in the second quarter a temporary expansion in margins from lower wholesale pricing, followed by pressure on margins as retail prices across the market fell. As of June 30, 2009, TXU served 1.911 million residential meters. While up from 1.880 million a year ago, the total is down from 1.930 million as of March 31, 2009. Although TXU said the second quarter represented the first net attrition in residential customers in seven quarters, the numbers of residential meters reported in its 10K/Q's show the decline began in the first quarter. The rate of residential churn increased from a loss of 2,000 meters from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009, to a loss of 19,000 residential meters from March 31, 2009 to June 30, 2009. Small business customer meters (< 1 MW) continued to grow, ending the quarter at 279,000 versus 275,000 as of March 31, 2009. Large commercial meters fell to 21,000 from 24,000 as of March 31, 2009. Total retail sales were up 1.3% at 12,543 GWh, driven by year-over-year residential and small commercial customer growth. Year-over-year residential sales were up 2.1% at 7,084 GWh and small commercial sales were up 2.2% at 1,908 GWh. -

Wedgewood Partners First Quarter 2020 Client Letter Pandemic “It’s very irresponsible for somebody to suggest we can have the best of both worlds. What we need is an extreme shutdown so that in six to 10 weeks, if things go well, then you can start opening back up.” Gates noted that while isolation in populated areas — along with widespread testing — is difficult and “disastrous” for the economy, “the sooner you do it in a tough way, the sooner you can undo it.” Bill Gates, TED, March 24, 2020 “COVID-19 won't go away. It'll infect the southern hemisphere as they winter and will want to come back to U.S. in fall. But we'll have a massive surveillance system by then, and I believe more than one drug to both prevent and treat infection. Our toolbox will be very different.” Scott Gottlieb, MD.

New Settlement on Firstenergy ESP Allows Gov't Aggregators to Be Paid
March 2, 2009 New Settlement on FirstEnergy ESP Allows Gov't Aggregators to be Paid Uncollectibles A revised stipulation which would establish the FirstEnergy Ohio utilities' electric security plan would allow suppliers of governmental aggregations to collect unpaid receivables from the FirstEnergy utilities, if providers elect to provide customers with rate phase-in credits, in a provision which prompted the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) and Ohio Consumers' Counsel to sign the settlement (Matters, 2/20/09). The OCC said the amended stipulation will, "remove competitive barriers to aggregation." The revised stipulation amends the original process for governmental aggregators to elect to provide rate phase-in credits to their customers, should PUCO order a phasing-in of Standard Service Offer rates. As before, governmental aggregation suppliers providing the phase-in credit would be entitled to receive such credits on a deferred basis from the FirstEnergy utilities, which would add such credits to the regulatory assets created for Standard Service Offer customers. Such credits would be recovered on a nonbypassable basis. Additionally, the settling parties now agree that any uncollectible government aggregation receivables arising out of supplying generation and transmission to a government aggregation group electing to phase-in prices as approved by the Commission shall be included in the Continued Page 7 WMECO Revises Renewable Access Plan to Remove Limit on Number of Suppliers In response to criticism from REC brokers, Western Massachusetts Electric Company has amended its proposed renewable energy retail access plan at the Massachusetts DPU, removing a previous provision limiting participation to two suppliers (08-54).
