Texas TDUs File Fees for Advanced Meter Opt-Out (Monthly Fee As Low As $18)
Texas transmission and distribution utilities have filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas initial tariffs to implement an opt-out from advanced metering, including sought levels for the one-time and ongoing opt-out fees.
At Oncor, the upfront, one-time opt-out fee, for customers with an advanced meter as of February 10, 2014, would be as follows:
For Oncor customers with an existing non-standard meter that has not been replaced with AMS, the one-time fee would be $447.25 for a Self-Contained -- Single Phase existing meter.
The recurring monthly AMS opt-out fee at Oncor would be $23.75 for kWh only metering and $28.45 for kWh and demand metering
At CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, the upfront, one-time fee for customers would be as follows:
The recurring monthly AMS opt-out fee at CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric would be $38.50.
At AEP Texas Central, the upfront, one-time fee for customers would be as follows:
The recurring monthly AMS opt-out fee at AEP Texas Central would be $18.
At AEP Texas North, the upfront, one-time fee for customers would be as follows:
The recurring monthly AMS opt-out fee at AEP Texas North would be $35.
At Texas-New Mexico Power, the upfront, one-time fee for customers would be as follows:
TNMP's AMS solution does not include turning the communication module off; and does not have an on/off switch; therefore TNMP cannot offer this non-standard metering service.
The recurring monthly AMS opt-out fee at TNMP would be $38.99
The filed costs are dependent on the assumption of the number of customers who elect to opt-out of a provisioned advanced meter. As noted in our related story today, the TDUs vary widely in their estimates of customers electing to opt-out of advanced metering.
