VIII.B. Consider and Approve Authorizing the Superintendent to execute a new energy supply agreement that begins January 2025 with a best value retail electric supplier for a maximum term of 125 months at an energy price not to exceed $0.062 cents per kWh.
Presenter:
Superintendent, Dr. Glenn Barnes
Description:

 Utilizing the District’s membership in Axeon Interlocal, a competitive solicitation for electricity supply and related services (RFP) has been issued to multiple qualified retail electric providers.  Notice of the RFP has also been advertised publicly in the Aransas Pass Progress and Ingleside Index in two separate notices dated October 31st and November 7th . 


Due to the volatility of electricity prices from day to day and week to week, the district would like to execute an electricity agreement soon after RFP responses are received on November 15th, executing a full requirements contract on the week of November 18th  for a term not to exceed 125 months at a contract price not to exceed  $0.062 cents per kWh.  Market intelligence suggests that the district will have the ability to execute a best value contract within these parameters through this competitive process.
