Page: 2
• Review operating history, debt obligations, and prepare forecasts
• Review billing system data and identify issues
• Evaluate impact of existing debt restructuring and planned TWDB debt issuances
• Benchmark revenue sources and capital and operating expenditures
• Evaluate current rate structure• Does each customer class contribute an equitable share of revenue based on
demand?• Are revenues generated at appropriate levels of consumption for each
customer class• Do rates generate revenue sufficient to pay current and forecast operating and
capital costs?
• Develop and assist with implementation of an improved rate structure• Eliminate cross customer-class subsidies• Reduce revenue declines related to weather events• Compare current & recommended rates to relevant peer group • Provide multi-year rate restructuring option • Generate revenue sufficient to fund operating and capital costs in a variety of
consumption scenarios
