BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS,
TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. On January 15, 1999, Texas Utilities Electric Company (hereinafter
referred to as "TU Electric ") filed with the governing body of this municipality a
Statement of Intent and Application to implement within the corporate limits of this
municipality proposed new rate schedules that provide additional rate options for its
customers, which options are entirely voluntary on the part of the customer, namely its
proposed Rate GTU- M- General Service Time -of -Use Municipality, proposed Rate
RTU1 -M- Residential Time -of -Use Service- Municipality, and proposed Rate GTUC -M-
General Service Time -of -Use Voluntary Curtailable- Municipality (said three proposed
new rate schedules hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Time -of -Use Rate
Schedules ").
SECTION 2. The Time -of -Use Rate Schedules are hereby approved, and TU
Electric is authorized to render service and to collect charges as specified in the Time -
of -Use Rate Schedules from its customers electing to receive electric service under
said Time -of -Use Rate Schedules within the corporate limits of this municipality until
such time as said rate schedules may be changed, modified, amended or withdrawn
with the approval of the governing body of this municipality.
SECTION 3. The Time -of -Use Rate Schedules herein approved shall be
effective from and after the final passage and approval of this ordinance.
SECTION 4. The filing of said Time -of -Use Rate Schedules shall constitute
notice to the consumers of electricity within this municipality of the availability and
application of such Time -of -Use Rate Schedules.
SECTION 5. TU Electric shall not seek any additional rate or surcharge
mechanism to recover any revenues lost on account of the application of these time -of-
use rates, and there shall be no imputed revenues on account of any reduction in TU
Electric's revenues that may result from the application of these time -of -use rates.
SECTION 6. The rate reductions approved by the Public Utility Commission of
Texas in Docket ,No. 18490 shall be applied to the time -of -use rates approved herein,
such that Rider RRD shall be applicable to Rate RTU1 -M, Rider GSRD shall be applied
to all customers taking secondary service under either Rate GTU -M designated as
GTU -M -SEC or under Rate GTUC -M designated as GTUC -M -SEC, and Rider RD shall
be applied to all other customers on Rate GTU -M or Rate GTUC -M.
SECTION 7. In its next general base rate case in which the time -of -use rates
herein approved are at issue, TU Electric will either (a) include all customers taking
service under Rate GTUC or GTUC -M during the test year involved in such base rate
case as a separate rate class in its cost allocation study, or (b) include in its cost
allocation study the load and revenue data applicable to each GTUC or GTUC -M
customer taking service under Rate GTUC or GTUC -M during the test year involved in
such base rate case with the load and revenue data of the rate class applicable to such
GTUC or GTUC -M customer immediately prior to such customer's taking service under
Rate GTUC or GTUC -M. In the event, however, that industry restructuring is mandated
by legislative changes prior to the time that TU Electric has another general base rate
case and such legislation authorizes the recovery by TU Electric of any stranded costs
from its various customer classes in accordance with its last approved cost of service
study, the customers then receiving service under the time -of -use rates will be included
in the customer classes reflect in TU Electric's most recent cot of service study as
follows:
(A) Customers on Rate RTU 1 -M shall be included in Rate Class RTU;
(B) Customers on Rate GTU -M shall be included in Rate Class HV, GP, or
GS, depending upon the voltage level of the service, such that customers
on Rate GTU -M receiving service at high voltages shall be included in
Rate Class HV, customers receiving service at primary distribution
voltages shall be included in Rate Class GP, and customers receiving
service at secondary distribution voltages shall be included in Rate Class
GS; and,
(C) Customers on Rate GTUC -M shall be included in Rate Class NI (Noticed
Interruptible) depending upon the voltage level of the service, such that
customers on Rate GTUC -M receiving service at high voltages shall be
included in Rate Class NI (High Voltage), customers on Rate GTUC -M
receiving service at primary distribution voltages shall be included in Rate
NI (Primary), and Customers on Rate GTUC -M receiving service at
secondary distribution voltages shall be included in Rate NI (Secondary).
SECTION 8. Nothing in this ordinance contained shall be construed now or
hereafter as limiting or modifying in any manner the right and power of the governing
body of this municipality under the law to regulate the rates, operations, and services of
TU Electric.
SECTION 9. It is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at
which this ordinance was passed was open to the public as required by law, and that
public notice of the time, place, and purpose of said meeting was given as required.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 16th day of February, 1999.
