ERCOT 12CP (PUCT proposal) · estimate

Flexential, Talty, Texas

A 108 MW campus opening one 36 MW building at a time. How a cooperative passes a minimum through to its customer is set by the co-op's own tariff.

Added a year by the large-load minimum

$4,806,720

on 72 MW announced but not yet drawn, at $66.76/kW-yr

Billed on draw alone$2,403,360With the minimum$7,210,080

If nothing changes for 20 years, the minimum adds $96,134,400, nominal. As draw catches up, the gap closes.

What the estimate uses

  • 108 MW treated as contracted peak: the campus's announced capacity, three 36 MW buildings.
  • 36 MW treated as normal draw at peak hours: the first building, the power Flexential says it has secured. First customers are due late 2028.
  • No curtailment. The rate is The 12CP calculator's ERCOT average. Utilities range about $40 to $76, not Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative's own.

What this is not

  1. Not a bill. Announced capacity is not a contract figure, and published operating MW is not metered peak-hour load.
  2. Whether the proposed minimum reaches loads already connected is not settled. If it does not, the added figure is zero for the connected part.
  3. Curtailing at peaks lowers the charge billed on draw, but not the part the minimum sets.
