– Each utility must separate into a:Power Generation Company (PGC)Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU)Retail Electric Provider (REP)

distribution grid Retail customers contact REPs for service REPs & PGCs contract for power to serve retail customers TDU bills REP for customers’ use of the grid REP sends bill to retail customer Aggregators can also bargain with REPs on customers’ behalf Customers have option to change suppliers Residential & small commercial customers (below 1 MW of peak
demand) who do not change still get 6% rate reduction

GenerationGeneration Law limits generation ownership of single
company to 20 percent in power region Code of conduct for transactions between affiliates Requires divestiture by utility-affiliated power
generation company w/ greater than 400 Mw of capacity of at least 15 percent of its capacity during the first five years of retail competition, or until utility-affiliated company loses 40 percent of residential and small commercial business.

Price to Beat – The Price to Beat – The Competitors’ Edge Competitors’ Edge
Default rate offered by utility- affiliated REP at 6% discount for residential and small commercial customers
Affiliated REP must charge PTB until it loses 40% of PTB customers or January 2005, whichever first
In non-ERCOT areas, PTB must be maintained for 5 years
PTB can be adjusted for changes in market price of natural gas and purchased energy
No PTB for industrial and large commercial customers-- Open competition permitted
Difference between PTB and market price to serve represents “headroom” for non-affiliated REPs
