Oncor Files To Institute Rider To Refund Charges to Retail Providers

Oncor has filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas a tariff to establish Rider TC1-R - Transition Charge Refund to refund an over-collection of Rider TC1 transition charges

Oncor has determined that $8.4 million is available for crediting to the benefit of ratepayers.

Oncor proposes to refund this amount by establishing Rider TC1-R to be effective over an estimated two-month period beginning in January 2016 (assuming Commission approval no later than December 1, 2015) and using the same Texas SET SAC04 code (MSC029) that was used to bill Rider TC1 transition charges. The Rider TC1-R factors are expected to be in effect for the two-month period; however, the tariff schedule shall remain in effect until the aggregate amount has been refunded, regardless of the duration of the period it is effective, at which time Rider TC1-R shall terminate.

Oncor specifically proposes that the following Rider TC1-R credits be applicable effective December 28, 2015:

Class                            Rider TC1-R
Residential                  $(0.000444)/kWh
General Secondary ≤10 kW     $(0.000935)/kWh
General Secondary >10 kW        $(0.115)/kW
General Primary ≤10 kW       $(0.000034)/kWh
General Primary >10 kW          $(0.185)/kW
High Voltage                    $(0.113)/kW
Lighting                     $(0.000737)/kWh
Instantaneous Interruptible     $(0.104)/kW
Noticed Interruptible           $(0.161)/kW

Per the tariff, the Rider TC1-R credits would be applicable for Oncor's entire certified service area except the area previously served by TXU SESCO
