PUCT Staff Seeks Revocation of TexRep6,
Vantage Power Services Certificates
PUCT Staff filed a petition to revoke the REP
certificate of TexRep6, LLC, which was previously purchased by Smartcom Technologies,
LLC, for its alleged failure to comply with new financial and managerial requirements
under SUBST. R. 25.107(f)(1) & SUBST. R. 25.107(f)(2) as well as SUBST. R. 25.107(g)(1)(D)
& SUBST. R. 25.107(g)(1)(E).
PUCT Staff also sought to revoke the REP certificate
of Vantage Power Services, LP, alleging that Vantage has not demonstrated compliance
with the new financial and managerial requirements of SUBST. R 25.107. In 2007,
Vantage sold substantially all of its assets to MXenergy.
Docket 38732: TexRep6
Docket 38734: Vantage Power Services
Lahey & Partners Seeks to Relinquish REP Certificate
Lahey & Partners, LLC filed to
relinquish its Texas REP certificate, stating that it has never conducted business.
Staff had previously filed to revoke Lahey & Partners' certificate for allegedly
failing to meet the new financial requirements of Subst. R. 25.107. Withdrawing
the certificate allows the principals to avoid the distinction of having been involved
with a REP whose certificate was revoked, and Lahey & Partners did confirm in a PUCT
filing that some of its principals, who were not identified, may wish to reapply
for a new REP certificate for a different company when current financial negotiations
are completed.
D.C. OPC Seeks Delay of AMI Deployment Until Comprehensive Customer Education Plan
Developed
The District of Columbia Office of People's Counsel petitioned the D.C.
PSC to require Pepco to delay its citywide deployment of advanced metering until
the company begins a comprehensive consumer education and media outreach program
educating consumers on the smart grid and the manner in which the company will install
its new smart meters in the District of Columbia. While OPC has reviewed literature
developed by Pepco for customer education, OPC said that the information needs to
be expanded, and needs to be coordinated with media and other outreach efforts, citing
positive and negative experiences in smart meter deployments at other utilities as
universally finding that early and frequent customer education will lead to less
customer skepticism and greater acceptance of smart meters, and their attendant benefits.
