NOTICE DATE: September 2, 2020
NOTICE TYPE: CNP-M-A082820-06 – EXTENDED
SHORT DESCRIPTION: National Weather Service Heat Advisory – CenterPoint Energy Suspension of Disconnect for Non-Pay Orders
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Retail Electric Providers
LONG DESCRIPTION: The National Weather Service extended a Heat Advisory effective at 10:00 AM CDT on Wednesday, September 2, 2020, for the CenterPoint Energy Service Territory, which requires the implementation of an Extreme Weather
Moratorium on Disconnects. This Heat Advisory will be in effect until 7:00 PM CDT on Wednesday, September 2, 2020.
The National Weather Service Heat Advisory underlying this DNP moratorium covers Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, and Matagorda Counties. As noted in Sec. 7.6.5.4 of the ERCOT Retail Market Guide, it is CNP’s practice to
suspend DNPs across our entire territory when the National Weather Service issues a Heat Advisory for a county within our territory.
In accordance with PUC rules, DNP orders will be suspended through
Friday, September 4, 2020, meaning that Tuesday, September 8, 2020, is the earliest day that CenterPoint Energy would be able to execute new DNP orders from Competitive Retailers if the Heat Advisory expires.
