ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

 

Texas-New Mexico Power Company (TNMP or the Company) filed an application with cities retaining original jurisdiction on November 14, 2025, seeking to increase system-wide transmission and distribution rates by $34 million.  The Company is asking the City to approve a 6.4% increase in residential rates and an overall increase of 5% in rates.  The Company is also proposing a 6.6% decrease for streetlighting customers, but significant increases for commercial customers.  Monthly rates would increase by approximately $5.20 for an average residential customer. The City of Lewisville is a member of a coalition of cities known alternatively as the Cities Served by TNMP and the Gulf Coast Coalition of Cities (TNMP Cities).  On December 1, 2025, the Council approved a resolution suspending TNMP’s rate request from taking effect for 90 days.  This time period has permitted the City, through its participation with the Cities Served by Texas-New Mexico Power Company (“Cities”), to determine that the proposed rate increase is unreasonable.  The purpose of the proposed resolution is to deny the rate change application proposed by TNMP. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the City Council approve the resolution as set forth in the caption above.
