2 EXECUTIVE WELCOME AND 2014 REP SURVEY RESULTS Angela Guillory REP Workshop November 11, 2014

3 REP Survey 2014 Results Key Strengths: o Overall Satisfaction with Oncor is 76%, similar to 2013 (77%) and notably higher than in 2012 (68%) and prior years o Overall Effectiveness of REP Relations Account Managers and Market Advocates are above 90% o Oncor continues to be widely regarded as a trustworthy company with a satisfaction rating of 77% or higher on most trust measures o CRIP is now used by well over half of all REP respondents (70%, significantly higher than last year s 48%) Overall Satisfaction with Oncor - % Highly Satisfied (8-10)

4 REP Survey 2014 Results Key Opportunities: o Maintain strong performance in processing market transactions and providing reliable, quality electric service o Continue improvements to CRIP chat in the access and usability, the information it provides, and its capabilities for REPs o Focus efforts to improve perceptions of Oncor s having knowledgeable employees What Can Oncor Do to Increase Your Satisfaction? Verbatim Comments: 2014 Bumping up response time on TDSP usage requests would be appreciated; it seems they've slowed down quite a bit over the last half year. Response time seems to be 3-4 days now. Ideally, a max of two days would better. My communication with Oncor is good. The customers suffer when Service Planner Requests aren't worked. That is the worst, being on the hook with the customer to trust that a Service Planner will actually call them back. I find myself setting reminder after reminder because there is a very low success rate with Service Planners contacting the customer. Provide the front line agents with additional training and education on market rules and protocols. Some agents do not seem to do a deep enough dive into the ESID notes. I call back and get an agent who can give me all the details needed to quickly get resolution. Work their MarkeTraks quicker. Allow their customer service agents to view ERCOT and become more knowledgeable.

29 ONCOR S ADVANCED METERING SYSTEM Randall Schmidt REP Workshop November 11, 2014

30 What we ll talk about today System Overview Today s functionality Today s performance Remembering the customer Remembering the Big Picture

31 AMS System Principles and Priorities

32 Today s key performance indicators Meter read success Read success generally over 99.5% w/o automatic retry Time that data is delivered to SMTP/ERCOT LSE files are delivered ~ 1:30 daily Two-way transaction success rate System success rate 98.5% daily

33 Operational Impacts Since March 2009, Oncor has completed over 13 million service orders remotely, instead of having to dispatch personnel and vehicles to perform these tasks. Conservatively, this has eliminated the need to drive over 65 million miles, saving almost 5.4 million gallons of fuel, preventing over 52,650 tons of CO 2 from being released into the environment. (Note: Numbers thru ) In 2013 Oncor s AMS processed 4.2 million service orders remotely with a 98.25% success rate, resulting in only 1.75% truck rolls. YTD 2014 Oncor is averaging 425,000 AMS service orders a month. Of those 425,000 orders, 130,000 are Pre-Pay Disconnects and Reconnects. Opt-Out for advanced meters 153 complete as of 11/10/2014. Reduced employee injuries by 96% and preventable vehicle accidents by 88%. Increased tampering identification/investigations. Increased distribution operational efficiencies.

34 Focused effort continues on the remaining gap in service order performance, improvement opportunities include: GPS coordinate improvements Firmware upgrades Communication system infrastructure expansion and enhancements

35 Operator s Use of AMS to Validate Customer Reported Outages Reducing Unnecessary Truck Rolls in 2013

36 Data analytics around AMS data continues to fix problems before outages occur From 2012 thru May 2014 Meter Issue Problem not found % % Tampering 165 4% 2014 thru May Problem fixed w/o unscheduled outage % Problem not found Tampering 51 4% 51 4% 110 9% Meter Issue 78 6% Problem fixed w/o unscheduled outage % 36

49 HOW CAN REPS PARTICIPATE IN IMPROVING THE CUSTOMER S OUTAGE EXPERIENCE? Debbie McKeever REP Workshop November 11, 2014 Proprietary & Confidential For Internal Use Only

50 Agenda Outage Map on Oncor s website Oncor.com Mobile Importance of good phone numbers Placing Oncor s Website information on your customers bills Placing Oncor s website information on REP webpages REP s reporting of customer outages Business Support Line IVR options to report outages on behalf of your customers

51 Outage Map on Oncor s Website The map reflects outages reported by customers as well as outages reported by the meters to Oncor s Outage Management System The map has a weather radar overlay feature to track the path of a storm Customers and REPs have the ability to report an outage Up to date outage information is available including: Estimated Time of Restoration (ETOR) Number of customers out Number of outage events Cause of outage (if known)

52 oncor.com Mobile Easy access to mobile pages and important phone numbers Integrated with social media access Ability to get to full website in one click

53 Importance of Good Phone Numbers Oncor plans to request phone number updates from REPs semiannually. Oncor s processes support maintaining accurate customer phone numbers on individual ESI ID records. This information is critical to outage reporting and responses. Accurate phone numbers: allow automated recognition of the ESI IDs for reporting outage locations and expediting the reporting experience; support automated updates for the Estimated Time of Restoration (ETOR) if known; allow Oncor to contact customers in advance of planned outage activities; will help Oncor to facilitate proactive outage communications in the future.

54 Placing Oncor s Website information on Your Customers Bills While Oncor strives to provide extremely reliable service, sometimes outages do occur. When an outage does occur, Oncor wants to make the outage experience as simple as possible for customers by providing them multiple channels to report their outage. These include: Calling Oncor s outage reporting line at Reporting the outage through Oncor s storm center website which can be accessed from a computer or smart phone at When a customer reports their outage at the website, they will also be asked if they would like to sign up for Text Oncor to receive updates and to utilize texting to report future outages To improve your customers outage reporting experience, Oncor requests that REPs add the website to customer bills in addition to the outage reporting phone number.

55 Placing Oncor s Website information on REP Websites REPs already place Oncor s outage reporting phone number on the REPs outage webpages. Oncor is also asking REPs to add to their outage webpages as another option for reporting their outage and improving the customer experience.

56 REPs Reporting of Customer Outages Step 1: Enter the last 7 digits of the ESI ID (optimal search) plus the zip code, or the 10-digit Phone Number listed plus the zip code. Select Continue. Step 2: Confirm Location by selecting the correct abbreviated address. Select Continue. Step 3: Select the type of outage from the dropdown (Full, Partial), add the phone number where the customer can be reached, then click Submit. The system will return an estimated time of restoration when available. Step 4: Sign up for Text Oncor to receive outage updates. Oncor requests REPS to report their customers outages if the customer calls them, and enroll them to receive text updates if the customer desires.

57 REPs Reporting of Customer Outages

58 Business Support Line IVR Options to Report Outages on Behalf of Your Customers Beginning around January 15, 2015, Oncor will implement an IVR process for REPs to report their customers outages via the Oncor Business Support Line. It will likely be more expeditious to report your customers outages via By reporting the outage by this method, REPS may also enroll customers in Text Oncor allowing customers to receive updates via their mobile phones.

59 Summary Oncor asks REPs to: 1. Provide accurate phone numbers for all ESI IDs; 2. Add the website to customer bills; 3. Add the website to REP outage webpages; 4. If a customer calls their REP to report their outage, go to to report the outage on behalf of your customer.

62 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Stan Southers REP Workshop November 11, 2014

63 Governmental Affairs - Overview Build and maintain effective relationships to successfully represent the interests of Oncor at the State and Federal level: Legislators, Executive Agency Officials, Stakeholders Develop and implement strategies to deal with complex public policy issues to ensure Oncor s success on a short and long-term basis. Maintain awareness of emerging issues in the industry and leverage that to Oncor s benefit. Advocate favorable outcomes for those issues that have a threshold impact upon Oncor business initiatives.

64 Realities of the Election A significantly altered leadership profile is upon us particularly statewide. Leadership Committee appointments Prevailing policy What will be the implications to the State s economy? Electric industry? Statewide Offices Senate House Governor 8 New Members 26 New Members Lieutenant Governor Attorney General Before: 19 R 12 D After: 20 R 11 D Before: 95 R 55 D After: 98 R 52 D Comptroller Land Commissioner New Chair appointment for Business & Commerce Challenge for new Speaker Expect State Affairs Chair to remain the same

65 Texas Tea Party Influence Tea Party Influence Among Likely Texas Voters 16% 45% 39% This year s Republican primary showcased the need for statewide candidates to align themselves with the Tea Party (e.g., Hegar, Miller, Patrick and Paxton). At least 7 of the 20Rs are aligned with the Tea Party: Bettencourt, Burton, Campbell, Hall, Huffines, Perry and Taylor. The remaining 13Rs will work hard to demonstrate a conservative record. Of the 95 Republican House members, one-third or more are expected to align with the Tea Party, although Straus is expected to remain Speaker. Texas Politics Project, June 2014

66 84 th Session Texas Critical Issues Issue Transportation Education Taxes Water Healthcare On the Border EPA 111d Synopsis Additional revenue stream(s) to fund TXDOT s projected $5B shortfall will be necessary to keep up with expected population growth, even though Prop 1 passes in election. Standardized testing, charter schools, and school finance reform are key elements that must be addressed. Consideration of modifications to franchise, margin, property, and sales tax will come into play as the State enjoys surplus budget revenue. The continuing drought will keep water infrastructure and supply at the forefront even though voters approved $2B in funding capability from the Rainy Day Fund in Nov Lawmakers will continue to monitor the impact of the Affordable Care Act on its citizens, as well as contemplate accepting federal funding for Medicaid expansion. The recent immigration crisis as well as heightened awareness of terrorist activity abroad has increased sensitivity to this issue. Though the final rule will not be published until June 2015, lawmakers will grapple with legal and remediation strategies. Environmentalists will aggressively pursue their agenda.

67 84th Session TDU Advocacy and Priorities Interim session activities mainly dormant on electric industry issues in part due to forthcoming leadership changes in the Senate. Actively partnering with our trade association (AECT) and other influential third-party groups in advance of the session. Emerging session priorities impacting T&D utilities likely to include: Distribution cost recovery; reducing regulatory lag Transmission build is a competitive frontier ahead? Will current procedures for determining need be influenced by generators?* Renewable goals and associated funding, especially for solar Issues associated with advanced meters Net metering; distributed generation Increased energy efficiency goals Implications of a likely concurrent filing * Contention regarding the Houston Import Project at the PUC has surfaced policy issues regarding competition and determination of need.
