PANDY LMNGSTON Pcnd Notary Public, State of Texa.s Notary Publ in an for Harri County, Texas My Comrnission Expires 03-21-2018 My Commission expires on: —c2 cPO) g 2 Attachment A NOTICE OF RATE CH.ANGE REQUEST On February 16, 2018 CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric LLC (CenterPoint Energy") filed its Application to revise its Wholesale Transmission Rates approved in Docket No. 47610 on November 9, 2017. CenterPoint Energy's Application seeks an interim adjustment to the previously approved transmission cost of service and wholesale transmission rate to reflect a reduction in the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, a reduction in transmission rate base for the estimated Excess Deferred Federal Income Tax (EDFIT) attributable to the change in Accumulated Deferred Federal Income Tax related to all incremental transmission plant investments added since the last rate case in Docket No. 38339 and the inclusion of amortized transmission plant EDFIT related to protected property, plant and equipment using the Average Rate Assumption Method (ARAM). If approved, the total transmission rate base interim decrease will be $101,658,253 with a total revenue requirement interim decrease of $41,647,895 from the approved amounts in Docket No. 47610 of $389,483,333 to $347,835,438 and a revised interim wholesale transmission rate of $5,138.64 per MW from the previously approved $5,753.91 per MW. The proposed interim revenue requirement decrease represents an approximate 10.7% decrease in CenterPoint Energy s wholesale transmission revenue requirement approved in Docket No. 47610. CenterPoint Energy has requested an effective date for the interim wholesale transmission rate of March 23, 2018. Because the Application requests a revision to CenterPoint Energy's wholesale transmission rate to reflect those changes noted above, affected customers include all distribution service providers who pay wholesale transmission charges pursuant to the Substantive Rules of the Public Utility Commission of Texas. A complete copy of CenterPoint Energy's Application to revise its TCOS from Docket No. 47610 is available for inspection at 1111 Louisiana, Houston Texas, 77002.
