Monitoring Services

CA offers high-quality, detailed monitoring of activities at the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and the Texas Legislature. These services are provided on an ongoing basis to clients who need to follow the rapid developments in the electric markets in Texas. We also offer a service that is based on the PUCT Filings List Service, in which we select and present for your review only those items that are of interest to the client, or which may otherwise inform the client of major activities that are underway at the PUCT. Along with this less voluminous list of PUCT filings, we send along automatically electronic copies of those items that we believe you will definitely want to see.

Timeline and Events Alerts

Clients may contract to receive timely notification of significant events by phone and email correspondence, as appropriate. CA associates keep calendars of upcoming events that are compiled regularly and can be provided to clients in addition to the special alerts we send when something of importance suddenly comes up. We are on every public email distribution list that we can locate at the PUCT and ERCOT, as well as some at the Texas Legislature. We pride ourselves in offering both speed and accuracy when providing the information of vital interest to our clients.

Research and Document Retrieval

Upon request, Competitive Assets will research topics of interest to our clients and also retrieve documents from major Texas regulatory agencies. We regularly perform research for our clients on price and tariff issues, and power plant information. We track what is happening with allies and competitors in the industry. Upon request, we acquire documents and research other issues at the PUCT, ERCOT, TCEQ, the Texas Legislature, FERC, the EPA, and other agencies. We sometimes summarize these filings upon request. The Competitive Assets associates also publish other reports from time-to-time on rulemakings, legislative hearings, ERCOT meetings and other special activities or government decisions. Notices are sent out via email as these new reports become available.

Professional Support

The Competitive Assets associates are highly experienced in preparing documents of all sorts for filings to be made at the Public Utility Commission of Texas, and other documents needed to fulfill the needs of interested parties who participate at ERCOT. They are often called upon to provide support in document preparation for clients and their attorneys. Our associates perform well in this role and have done so for a variety of clients. They also make the filings directly on behalf of clients when this is appropriate.

Strategic Assistance

One of our strengths is the ability to identify various strategies to accomplish high priority objectives. Competitive Assets's ability to provide critical strategic assistance is grounded in our in-depth knowledge of the Texas utility industry, the related government functions, and the persons and organizations who are active in this arena. This knowledge and experience provides strategic market intelligence essential for clients to implement their corporate strategies with maximum effectiveness. Our assistance in developing and executing strategy provides our clients with the critical advantage they need in increasingly competitive electric markets. Strategic assistance is available on a limited basis. Acceptance and assignment of CA associates to carry out this work takes into account any potential conflicts of interest as well as individual capabilities.

PUCT Filings

The PUCT Filings List Service provides listings of filings made at the Public Utility Commission of Texas, and is available either daily or as a weekly composite list. The service includes ALL filings made at the PUCT's Central Records, including the initial filing made to open a new docket or project. The PUCT Filings List combines control number information with the name of the control number, the date of the filing, the party making the filing, and the name of the item filed, as these are reflected in the PUCT's Interchange. Unlike the PUCT's list, the Competitive Assets service provides a side-by-side listing of the control number, the docket or project name, and the particular filing. You can easily determine whether an individual filing is of interest to you. You may subscribe to a list of all filings for a day or the week, for all Telephone and Other filings for the day or week, or all Electric and Other filings for the day or week. The daily list will be waiting for you by 8:00 CST on the business day following the filing date. The weekly delivery option will be available Monday morning by 8:00 CST.

The PUCT Filings List is published by MLE Consulting in collaboration with Competitive Assets, and is currently delivered by email to your desktop. a free PUCT Filings List trial and subscription information.
