Texas PUC Staff File Preliminary List Of REPs Eligible To Be Assigned Non-Volunteer POLR Responsibility
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Staff of the Texas PUC have posted a preliminary list of all REPs eligible, based meeting a sales volume threshold and other criteria set in rule, to serve as a non-volunteer POLR (called Large Service Providers or LSPs) for each customer class and service area (excluding LP&L which has its own process) for the 2027-28 term.
REPs identified as eligible to be assigned non-volunteer POLR responsibility may challenge Staff's preliminary determination through September 8, 2026
After a review of any such challenges, Staff will designate up to 15 non-volunteer POLRs for each customer class in each service area. This will reflect the 15 (or fewer) REPs with the greatest market share for such customer group and service area which meet the minimum non-volunteer POLR threshold eligibility requirements

Additionally, Staff's posting confirms the specific customer classes and service areas for which TXU Energy seeks to serve as a volunteer POLR
While TXU's application to serve as a volunteer POLR had been previously reported by ECM, the specific customer classes and service areas for which TXU sought such status were filed under seal
Staff's filing confirms that TXU has sought volunteer POLR designation for residential customers and small non-residential customers in all applicable service areas (LPL has its own separate POLR process), and for medium non-residential customers in all service areas except AEP Texas North. These are the customer classes and service areas for which TXU is currently a volunteer POLR
Staff's filing also confirms that no other REP has applied for volunteer POLR status
