BECOMING A

RETAIL ELECTRIC PROVIDER (REP) IN TEXAS

Demand Control 2 Services, the consulting affiliate of Demand Control 2 Holding Co,  has, and will continue to, set up companies to become a full-scale Retail Electric Provider in Texas.  If you are interested in becoming a REP in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and serving retail customers in Texas, albeit residential, commercial, or industrial, DC2 Services can assist in making that a reality.  A REP buys wholesale electricity, delivery service, and related services, prices electricity for customers, and seeks customers to buy electricity at retail.

We will explain the many responsibilities of being a REP, including:

• • Buying electricity at wholesale.
  • Buying delivery service and paying the charges for transmission and distribution service to the Transmission and Distribution Utilities TDU.
  • Serving as the direct contact with the customer for electric service issues.
  • Billing the customer and collecting for the REP's charges.
  • Providing a 24-hour toll free telephone number for customer calls.
  • Developing electronic interface system to communicate with the Independent System Operator (ERCOT) and other Market Participants relating to customer switches and meter information.
  • Testing the electronic interface system with ERCOT.
  • Understanding and following the Commission's rules, including the customer protection rules. PUC Substantive Rules, Subchapter R

• Who Should File: A person or company seeking to sell electricity to retail customers must register as a REP at the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC).  Persons who do not purchase, take title to, or resell electricity, but perform a service pursuant to a contract with the REP do not need to become certified as REPs.  Note:  There are registration requirements for brokers.
• When to File: REP Certification at the Commission generally takes 60-90 days. Upon approval of REP certification, applicants will be ordered to provide proof that they have completed the ERCOT testing of their electronic interface system prior to serving customers.  Since ERCOT generally has three testing periods per year, it is important to coordinate the testing dates with the REP's business plan.

Demand Control 2 sells electric energy to certain retail customers in the areas of Texas where the sale of electricity is open to retail competition.
