The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) announces that a public hearing will be held to receive comments on its draft System Benefit Fund Plan 2002-2003.

The public hearing will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, May 18, 2001 in Room 118 of the Stephen F. Austin Building, 1700 North Congress Avenue, Austin, Texas. At the hearing, a representative from TDHCA will provide descriptions of the TDHCA System Benefit Fund Plan and the proposed use of the funds for 2002-2003.

The System Benefit Fund (SBF) was established as part of Senate Bill 7, which restructured the electrical industry. The purpose of the SBF is to provide special assistance to low-income residential electric customers in paying their energy bills by providing a discount (approximately 10% discount) and reducing their energy consumption through weatherization; to offset lost revenue for school districts from the devaluation of electric generating plants; and to educate the public on "customer choice" in the restructuring of electric utilities. Measures established in the bill to assist low-income residential consumers include energy efficiency programs to be administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs in coordination with existing weatherization programs. The targeted energy efficiency programs would serve low-income electric customers not served by municipally owned utilities or electrical cooperatives that have not adopted customer choice. The SBF is to be funded through a non-bypassable fee and will be administered by the Public Utility Commission (PUC).

The Public Utility Commission released rules for SBF energy efficiency programs to allow broad latitude for program structure as long as the goal of increasing the low income consumer's energy efficiency is achieved. The SBF Plan will provide information regarding the proposed activities of the program implementation for the year 2002 and 2003. For 2002-2003, the Department contemplates administering the SBF energy efficiency programs through the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) subgrantees, which would coordinate the programs with WAP in a manner similar to existing Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) funded Demand-Side Management service contracts. Unlike existing IOU contracts, the SBF program would allow for demonstration programs to explore other strategies to achieve program goals.

Local officials and citizens are encouraged to participate in the hearing process. Written and oral comments received will be used to finalize the TDHCA System Benefit Fund Plan 2002-2003. Written comments from those who cannot attend the hearing in person may be provided by the close of business at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 18, 2001, to Ms. Lolly Caballero, Senior Planner, Energy Assistance Section, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, 507 Sabine, Suite 600, Austin, Texas 78701 or by electronic mail to lcaballe@tdhca.state.tx.us or by fax to (512) 475-3935. A copy of the proposed state plan may be requested by calling Ms. Caballero at (512) 475-0471 or by writing Ms. Caballero at the TDHCA address given above. The proposed draft plan will be available May 11, 2001.

Individuals who require auxiliary aids or services for this meeting should contact Ms. Gina Esteves, ADA responsible employee, at (512) 475-3943 or Relay Texas at 1-800-735-2989 at least two days before the meeting so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
