Resource Management Commission Resolution on Austin Energy District Energy and Cooling System WHEREAS, the City of Austin established its first District Energy and Cooling system plant in 2001; and WHEREAS, this system has now expanded to seven plants around Austin, and currently shifts about 28 MW during peak demand while providing air conditioning and refrigeration at a savings to at least 73 commercial customers; and WHEREAS, this system would not have been built without Austin Energy's support; and WHEREAS, the peak load reduction from the District Energy and Cooling System lowers Austin Energy’s wholesale electricity purchase costs for all Austin Energy customers; and WHEREAS, expansion of the District Energy and Cooling system is an important strategy to save more energy and reduce carbon emissions as the new Austin Energy generation plan is implemented; and WHEREAS, a transparent understanding of the District Energy and Cooling system’s financial health is necessary to evaluate continued public investment and long-term planning; WHEREAS, Austin Energy has not released detailed information and data relevant to the financial viability of the district chilling system and the timeline by which a sale or other alternatives for the system might proceed; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission recommends that the City Council: 1) Commission an audit of Austin Energy's District Energy and Cooling system to identify the drivers of its financial underperformance, assess the cost- benefit of future expansion or divestment, and to suggest potential actions Austin Energy may take to ensure its long-term financial viability; 2) Direct Austin Energy to publicly share a strategic roadmap detailing the timeline, rationale, and evaluation criteria for any planned expansion or divestment of the District Energy and Cooling system and deliver a public status report no later than September 30, 2025.

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Jon Fortune, Deputy City Manager FROM: Stuart Reilly, Interim General Manager, Austin Energy DATE: May 15, 2025 SUBJECT: District Energy and Cooling System Review ____________ The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update on Austin Energy’s District Energy and Cooling (DEC) system and inform you of an upcoming review of potential options for the system to grow and effectively meet new development needs in the future. The driver for this DEC system review is finding innovative ways to achieve the best environmental outcomes for our community and serve new customers. BACKGROUND The DEC system was established in FY 2001 to shift electric load off-peak and to provide an energy efficient alternative to traditional air conditioning systems in suitable areas. Instead of each building having a separate cooling system, DEC chills water at night and pumps this water through a network of underground pipes to cool large buildings. The DEC system is a valuable resource to the Austin community because it uses energy at night to chill water that is used for cooling during the heat of the day, which shifts energy usage to lower demand times and reduces the peak demand needs of Austin Energy. Fostering growth of the DEC system therefore reduces the need for additional summer peak generation needed to support customers. The DEC system operates in four districts, downtown, the Domain, ACC Highland, and Mueller, serving 73 customers under contract. It provides environmental benefits by being an alternative to individual air conditioning systems and is an attractive option for developers seeking to make the most of their buildable square footage, while receiving an efficient and reliable way to meet their cooling needs. With the rapid pace of growth in Austin, the DEC system is in need of expansion in order to meet customer needs or risk continued new development that is not capable of coming online to receive district cooling service. As such, Austin Energy has proposed looking at ways the system can grow and flourish, providing more environmental benefits, and more energy efficiency benefits, and continuing to reduce our summer peak demand needs – enhancing sustainability and affordability for all customers.
