Settlement Would Set Smart Meter Opt-Out Rates at CenterPoint TDU
A settlement among Staff of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, and the 9/12 Association would establish the fees applicable for customers who opt-out of advanced metering service.
The settlement would establish the one-time, upfront opt-out fees as:
The initial monthly opt-out fee would be $32.80. After certain costs are collected, this would be reduced to $16.86.
The settlement would also set a rate of $23.35 for the following discretionary charges related to non-standard metering: (a) DCS.5 Disconnect for Non-Pay (DNP); (b) DCS.6 Reconnect After DNP; (c) DCS.8 Re-Reads; and (d) DCS.9 Out-of-Cycle Read for the Purpose of a Self-Selected Switch
The settlement provides that if the number of customers taking non-standard metering service at the same time exceeds 150 (which represents 150% of CenterPoint Houston's estimated 100 opt-out customers), CenterPoint Houston shall make a compliance filing to update the non-standard metering charges based solely on the update to the number of customers billing determinant and the remaining balances of any cost amounts approved for the AMS opt-out
