ERCOT Confirms Number Of ESI IDs Initially Assigned To Default REPs At Lubbock Power & Light
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. (ERCOT), in an update on the completion of the transition to retail competition at Lubbock Power & Light, (LP&L), reported that a total of 109,577 premises or energized Electric Service Identifiers (ESI IDs) in the LP&L service territory have been transitioned to REPs as part of this process.
As of February 15, 2024, approximately 66% of customers (71,844 ESI IDs) had selected a REP. While customers continued to have the opportunity to choose a REP after that date, ERCOT is unable to determine how many customers made REP selections after February 15.
LP&L divided the 37,733 ESI IDs associated with customers that had not selected a REP by February 15 among the three default REPs, who in turn submitted move-in transactions to ERCOT for their assigned ESI IDs.
If a customer chose a REP other than their assigned default REP after February 15 and before their transition date, the move-in transaction submitted by the customer’s chosen REP either superseded or resulted in a cancellation of the move-in transaction submitted by the default REP. As a result, while ERCOT can determine how many move-in transactions were processed for each of the three default REPs, ERCOT cannot determine whether any given move-in transaction with a default REP occurred because the ESI ID had been assigned to the default REP or because of an affirmative customer choice.
A move-in transaction for a default REP may have occurred as the result of several scenarios, including, but not limited to, the following:
1) The customer was assigned to the default REP and took no action.
2) The customer was assigned to a default REP and subsequently chose a different plan with that REP than the default month-to-month plan.
3) The customer was assigned to a default REP, declined that default REP, but subsequently chose to receive service from that same REP.
4) The customer was assigned to one default REP, then chose a different REP that also happened to be a default REP.
5) The customer was assigned to a default REP, declined that default REP, did not select another REP, and was consequently reassigned to a default REP.
The example scenarios may have occurred multiple times for a single ESI ID. For example, ERCOT is aware of an ESI ID in LP&L’s service territory that had five move-ins, seven cancellations, two switches, and three date changes in the process of arriving at a single REP of Record with a meter-read date for settlement purposes.
