Discussed the Process for Changing IDR to AMS (Cont.) • RMWG continues to review various scenarios and is contemplating recommendations as follows: • ESI IDs above the mandatory threshold that have an IDR meter installed leave as an IDR meter • ESI IDs currently below the mandatory threshold with an advanced meter where the demand moves above the threshold REP action item • ESI IDs currently below the threshold with an IDR meter REPs option • ESI IDs currently above the threshold with an IDR meter where the demand moves below the threshold REPs option
Discussed the Process for Changing IDR to AMS (Cont.) • REP Open Question • For ESI IDs that have an • advanced Meter where the • demand goes above the threshold • Does the advanced meter need to be replaced with an IDR meter?
Discussed the Process for Changing IDR to AMS (Cont.) • TDSP Open Questions • For ESI IDs that have an • IDR meter where the demand • remains above the threshold • Can customers request to have their IDR meter replaced with an Advanced Meter? • If the IDR meter is replaced can the TDSP charge the AMS surcharge? • Is the TDSP allowed to install an Advanced Meter and maintain the IDR meter profile and existing TXSET data transmission process?
