Lone Star/NextEra Bylaw Proposal
Basis and Intent of Proposed Bylaw Amendment Basis and Intent of Proposed Bylaw Amendment Typically, for affiliated entities under common corporate ownership, one company can be designated as a corporate member of ERCOT, and any other affiliate may registeras associate members in other segments Under the current bylaws, affiliates of transmission-only utilities are defined as T&D Entities and are only allowed to be associate members in the Investor-Owned Utility market segment. They are not eligible to join as associate members in other marketsegments. This proposed bylaw amendment would change the definition of T&D Entity to include retail electric utilitiesand their affiliates.
Practical Impacts Entities impacted by this change would be affiliates of Lone Star, WETT, and CrossTexas.
