Tradition: A Regional Approach to Mutual Assistance National Response Event Overview . A NRE is an event that: - Is expected to or has impacted two or more RMAGs; or - The resource requirements are greater than what the impacted RMAGs can provide; or - Requires response from more than two RMAGs; or - There are multiple events that create a resource constraint or competition between RMAGs. When an NRE is activated, all available EEI member emergency restoration resources (including contractors) will be pooled and allocated to participating utilities in a safe, efficient, and equitable manner.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • Business Actors in the US Coal and Utility Industries • Christian Downie*
    Fighting for King Coal’s Crown: Business Actors in the US Coal and Utility Industries • Christian Downie* Abstract Over the last two decades, business actors have received growing attention in global en- vironmental politics. In the context of climate change, scholars have demonstrated the capacity of business actors to directly shape outcomes at the national, international, and transnational levels. However, very little work has focused exclusively on business actors in the coal and utility industries. This is surprising, given that resistance from these in- dustries could delay or even derail government attempts to address climate change. Ac- cordingly, this article focuses directly on the preferences of business actors in the coal and utility industries. Drawing on interviews with executives across the US energy sector, it considers business preferences on two of the most important attempts by the Obama administration to limit emissions from coal: the Waxman-Markey bill and the Clean Power Plan. In doing so, it provides new insights about the preferences of these actors and the divisions within these industries that could be exploited by policy-makers and activists seeking to enact climate change regulations. Over the last two decades, business actors have received growing attention in global environmental politics, for good reason. Existing scholarship has shown that business actors are critical to addressing some of the most pressing environ- mental problems facing the globe. In the context of climate change, scholars have demonstrated the capacity of business actors to directly shape outcomes at the national, international, and transnational levels (Falkner 2008; Meckling 2011; Newell 2000). However, very little work has focused exclusively on busi- ness actors in the coal and utility industries.
