  • Offloading excess power (hedging, trading, bi-lateral contracts)
  • Reporting energy positions, exposure, and risk
  • Forecasting and budgeting power costs
  • Monitoring ERCOT transmission

The City received 12 proposals from the following firms:

  • ACES
  • Boston Energy
  • Crescent Power, Inc.
  • Demand Control 2, LLC

  • Garland Power & Light
  • MP2 Energy LLC
  • New Braunfels Utilities

An evaluation team comprised of city management, finance and Georgetown Utility System staff, evaluated the proposals and narrowed the list of finalists through a scoring system. The three finalist are: Shell Energy North America, Boston Energy Trading and Marketing LLC, and Tenaska Power Service Company.

Once a single finalist is selected, city staff will negotiate a contract for electric energy portfolio managed services and bring the contract to the City Council for approval.
