Mobile Generation Provider To Pay $55,000 Under Settlement With Texas PUC Staff
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Gravity Power & Rental, LLC (Gravity) would pay $55,000 under a settlement with Staff of the Texas PUC to resolve alleged violations of 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §§ 25.53(c)(1) and (c)(3), related to the filing of a required annual Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and annual EOP updates.
Gravity is registered with the PUC as a Power Generation Company (PGC). Gravity generally provides mobile generation and similar power and infrastructure solutions.
The settlement states that because Gravity was registered as a PGC before April 15, 2022, Gravity was required to file its EOP no later than April 18, 2022, in accordance with 16 TAC § 25.53(c)(1). Beginning in 2023, Gravity was required to file an updated EOP or an affidavit by March 15th of each year in accordance with 16 TAC § 25.53(c)(3).
The settlement states, "Gravity violated 16 TAC § 25.53(c)(1) by failing to timely file its required initial EOP and executive summary in Project No. 53385 by April 18, 2022."
The settlement states, "Gravity violated 16 TAC § 25.53(c)(3) by failing to timely file its required annual EOP update or affidavit associated with calendar years 2022 in Project No. 53385 by March 15, 2023, its required annual EOP update or affidavit associated with calendar year 2023 by March 15, 2024, and its required annual EOP update or affidavit associated with calendar year 2024 by March 17, 2025."
The settlement states, "Gravity explains that the violations at issue arose from the merger between Gravity and one of its predecessor entities, Light Tower Rentals, through which Gravity became subject to certain reporting obligations; Gravity was not aware of such obligations prior to receiving the Commission's Notice of Violation.".
The settlement states, "Gravity's violations resulted from a lack of awareness, not willful disregard, and concerned registration oversights, not actions that caused economic or environmental harm.. [sic] Had Gravity become aware of the applicable regulations and its obligations as a result of the status of its predecessor entity, it would have addressed the issues subject to the Notice of Violation sooner."
The settlement states, "Upon receiving the Notice of Violation, Gravity promptly submitted both its PGC registration and the EOP, thereby fully addressing and correcting the violations. Moreover, to mitigate the risk of future non-compliance, Gravity has retained an electric power consultant to provide ongoing compliance and regulatory support at a considerable annual cost. Gravity is in compliance with the Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act (LSIPA) and ERCOT requirements, having timely made those filings after notice from ERCOT, further confirming that the violation was an oversight due to lack of available information -- not an intentional or willful disregard of Commission regulations. The continued engagement of regulatory consultants is intended to ensure ongoing compliance."
