  • Section 36.3511, Utilities Code

    Sec. 36.3511. DISCOUNTED RATES FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS IN CERTAIN COUNTIES. (a) This section applies only to a facility receiving electric service in a county that is located on the international border and contains a municipality with a population of 500,000 or more. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, each electric utility and municipally owned utility shall provide to a facility of a public school district or another political subdivision that is authorized to impose an ad valorem tax the same discount for charges for electric service as the discount required to be provided to a facility of an institution of higher education under Section 36.351. (c) An electric or municipally owned utility is exempt from this section if the discount results in a reduction equal to more than one percent of the utility's total annual revenues. (d) An electric utility may not recover from residential customers or any other customer class the assigned and allocated costs of serving a public school district or other political subdivision that receives a discount under this section. (e) Each electric utility shall file tariffs with the commission reflecting the discount required under this section. The initial tariff filing is not a rate change for purposes of Subchapter C.
