WHEREAS, El Paso Electric Company, distributes electric power within the City Limits of the City of El Paso pursuant to a 25-year franchise granted to El Paso Electric Company dated as of July 15, 2005, and is an electric utility; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to applicable law, the City of El Paso maintains original jurisdiction over rates of El Paso Electric Company for rates charged within the City limits of the City of El Paso, and

WHEREAS, on February 13, 2017 El Paso Electric Company Statement of Intent to Increase Rates with the Public Utility Commission of Texas and for rates within the City of El Paso, seeking an overall increase in rates of $42.5 million and also seeking to separate out residential customers who have distributed solar generation into a separate rate class and impose demand charges on those customers, and

WHEREAS, on June 12, 2017, after due consideration of the requests in the EPE statement of Intent, and the recommendation of its outside consultants, the City Council of the City of El Paso denied the requested increase and denied the rate proposals including the proposal to create a separate rate class for residential customers who have distributed solar generation, and

WHEREAS, on June 20, 2017, the El Paso Electric Company filed an appeal to the Public Utility Commission of the decision of the City Council, and

WHEREAS, on June 23, 2017, the City of El Paso, as a Party in the Appeal at the Public Utility Commission of Texas filed expert testimony in opposition to El Paso Electric Company’s request to create a new rate class for residential customers with distributed solar generation, and

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of El Paso heard additional public input on the issue at its regular meeting of August 8, 2017, and

WHEREAS, after consideration of the additional public input on August 8, 2017, the City Council desires to reaffirm its position on the proposal to create a separate rate class for residential customers with distributed solar generation, and

            WHEREAS, in the context of distributed solar installations, increases in the customer charge, the imposition of demand charges, the requirement of Time of Use rates cause a reduction in the value of net metering that can have a significant negative impact on jobs and investment in the El Paso region’s solar industry and curtail new installations of distributed solar, and

            WHEREAS, the City was recently recognized at the highest performance level by the Department of Energy funded SolSmart program, that designated El Paso as a Gold level performer for its efforts to enable expansion of solar and distributed energy resources, reducing regulatory and code obstacles by incorporating policies that promote the use of solar power and other renewable energy sources, and

            WHEREAS, the expansion of solar and distributed resources in El Paso also enables growth of an industry that brings high-quality high-paying Jobs to the region in materials supply, electrical technologies and installation contractor services, expanding Workforce Development, Recruitment, Retention of Talent, and business interests within El Paso's key economic sectors, including promotion of environmentally sensitive businesses and desert adapted technologies, goods and services tailored to the special needs of El Paso as a desert community with limited water resources and abundant Sun, and

            WHEREAS, the City of El Paso has promoted the expansion of distributed Solar PV installations through the use of rebates aimed strategically to encourage a burgeoning new Solar Energy marketplace to establish a viable base of operation within the City to expand the presence of these Jobs for its Citizens, and

            WHEREAS the presence of a Solar Energy market within the City aligns strategically with our region’s mutual interests in both Sustainability and Resilience within a desert climate, reducing the impacts upon our limited water resources which are effectively consumed by fossil fuels based generation of electricity. 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL PASO: 

1.    The City Council reaffirms the position it took in opposition to the proposal to create a separate rate class for residential customers with distributed solar generation.

 

2.    Nothing in this resolution shall be construed to limit the City of El Paso’s original jurisdiction over the rates and services of El Paso Electric Company.
