Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) has filed a new rate case with the Texas PUC

The rate case is notable because, as exclusively first reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com, East Texas Salt Water Disposal Company (ETSWD) has filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas a petition for declaratory order and request for the opening of a pilot retail electric choice implementation project at SWEPCO

SWEPCO's rate case includes proposed new service offerings, including a voluntary REC purchase option for customers

The proposed new Renewable Energy Credit (REC) Rider would allow customers to purchase RECs at a customer-selected percentage, up to 100% of their usage. The REC price, set annually, would be the most recent 12-month average value using the S&P Global Renewable Energy Credit Index for Texas RECs.

SWEPCO is also proposing a Residential Plug-in Electric Vehicle Rider, an optional Residential Time-of-Use rate schedule pilot, and an optional Commercial Time-of-Use rate schedule pilot.

Docket 51415
