CITY OF AUSTIN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMISSION RESOLUTION REQUESTING INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF CARBON-FREE RESOURCES ADDRESSING AUSTIN ENERGY’S 400-MEGAWATT RELIABILITY NEED CONSISTENT WITH CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN AND CLEAN ENERGY GOALS WHEREAS, the Austin Climate Equity Plan (2021) and Austin Energy's Resource, Generation, and Climate Protection Plan to 2035 — adopted unanimously by the Austin City Council in December 2024 — commit the City and its municipal utility to 100% carbon-free generation by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2040, and direct all procurement and investment decisions to align with those goals; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy has identified approximately 575 annual reliability risk hours in the Austin load zone and determined that approximately 400 megawatts of additional dispatchable capacity is needed by 2035 or earlier to address that risk, with an estimated budget of approximately $1 billion — a commitment of sufficient scale to warrant rigorous, independent evaluation of all available pathways. This anticipated resource need and the number of hours of annual reliability risk are likely to increase over time, making 400 megawatts a floor rather than ceiling on future Austin Energy resource needs; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy’s Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2035, and the Austin City Council’s approval of Austin Energy’s proposed new gas- fired peaker plant, is based upon resource and fuel cost, technology and availability assumptions dating back to mid-2024. WHEREAS, since mid-2024 multiple characteristics of resource and fuel have changed significantly over the past two years, including multiple factors that render the assumptions underlying the gas peaker plant outdated: • A 64% increase in Henry Hub natural gas prices between August 2024 and October 2026; • A 40 to 50% higher increase in single-cycle gas turbine and 40 to 66 percent increase in combined-cycle turbine costs from August 2024 to October 2026, with lead times for delivery extending for five years or more due to the huge demand for new turbines and turbine generator sets from data center owners, utilities, and independent power producers; • A 15 to 25% increase in the cost of acquiring large generator step-up transformers, with lead times from order to delivery extending three to four years; and WHEREAS, these cost increases and delivery delays could significantly raise the costs of and delay the construction and operation of Austin Energy’s newly approved gas-fired peaker plant; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy should reexamine the availability and feasibility of a suite of alternative technology options …
RESOLUTION TO OFFER FURTHER OPINIONS AT THE SAME TIME AS RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL WHEREAS, Austin Energy and Austin Water ask the Resource Management Commission to recommend City Council approval of expenditures or policy that affect clean energy and water conservation; and WHEREAS, the Commission is constrained by the wording of these Recommendations for Council Action (RCAs) to only a "Yea or Nay" vote for approval; and WHEREAS, the issues surrounding these RCAs sometimes have issues that need to be brought to City Council's attention, but these nuances cannot be considered at the same time as the RCAs because such recommendations are not posted for discussion and vote at the same meeting as the RCAs; THEN BE IT RESOLVED that, beginning with the meeting of November 2026, RCAs posted for consideration on the Commission agenda also have an automatic item posted allowing the Commission the option to offer further opinions on the RCAs to Council for consideration.

CITY OF AUSTIN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMISSION RESOLUTION REQUESTING INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF CARBON-FREE RESOURCES ADDRESSING AUSTIN ENERGY’S 400-MEGAWATT RELIABILITY NEED CONSISTENT WITH CLIMATE EQUITY PLAN AND CLEAN ENERGY GOALS WHEREAS, the Austin Climate Equity Plan (2021) and Austin Energy's Resource, Generation, and Climate Protection Plan to 2035 — adopted unanimously by the Austin City Council in December 2024 — commit the City and its municipal utility to 100% carbon-free generation by 2035 and net-zero emissions by 2040, and direct all procurement and investment decisions to align with those goals; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy has identified approximately 575 annual reliability risk hours in the Austin load zone and determined that approximately 400 megawatts of additional dispatchable capacity is needed to address that risk, with an estimated budget of approximately $1 billion — a commitment of sufficient scale to warrant rigorous, independent evaluation of all available pathways; and WHEREAS, the technology landscape for carbon-free reliability resources has changed dramatically, with utility-scale and customer-scale battery storage costs continuing to decline, grid reconductoring enabling greater effective capacity from existing infrastructure, demand response programs achieving reliability performance previously associated only with centralized generation, time-of-use and real-time pricing programs reshaping peak load curves; and WHEREAS, a comprehensive portfolio of these carbon-free demand-side and grid- side resources — evaluated individually and in combination — may be capable of addressing all or a substantial portion of the identified 400-megawatt reliability need at total cost competitive with or below the approximately $1 billion budget, while advancing Austin's climate goals and providing year-round grid benefits rather than capacity dispatched only during reliability events; and WHEREAS, an independent, out-of-state technical consultant with no financial interest in any generation technology, vendor, or regional market is best positioned to evaluate these alternatives objectively and with access to the most current national experience deploying carbon-free reliability resources at scale; now, therefore, THEN BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission urges that the approximately $1 billion identified to address the 400-megawatt reliability need be invested in a manner fully consistent with the Austin Climate Equity Plan and the 2035 Resource Plan; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission requests that Austin City Council directs the Financial Services Department to engage an independent, out-of-state third-party technical consultant — selected through a competitive process with no financial relationship to any generation technology vendor, equipment manufacturer, or regional market participant — to conduct a comprehensive, …

Resource Management Commission Recommendation To Improve Local Solar + Storage Working Group WHEREAS, Austin Energy has operated rooftop solar incentive programs for its customers since 2004; and WHEREAS, rooftop solar has grown in significance to the point that it is now a major part of Austin’s new generation plan; and WHEREAS, permitting processing and inspection delays raise costs, discourage installation, and are a barrier to achieving Austin’s solar goals; WHEREAS, the City’s Resource Management Commission and Electric Utility Commission have established a joint working group to find ways to reduce permitting and inspection delays to lower the cost to consumers for installing solar energy and battery storage; and WHEREAS, this working group will be more effective with expertise and participation from relevant City Departments that interface with solar and battery permitting, inspection, and installation of this equipment; BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission recommends that City Council pass a resolution supporting the Solar + Storage Working Group and direct the City Manager to identify and direct the responsible personnel at Austin Energy, Austin Development Services, Austin Technology Services, and other relevant City department to participate in the Working Group and work with their respective managers to implement recommendations as appropriate.
Resource Management Commission Resolution on Contract Reporting and Resource Cost Reporting Version 2.0 WHEREAS, since Austin Energy has been acquiring new resources to implement the 2025 Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2035; and WHEREAS, the Resource Plan’s key actions include prioritizing customer energy solutions to reduce the need for additional generation, transmission, and presumably storage in support of reliability, including leading with energy efficiency, demand response, and beneficial electrification; and WHEREAS, the Resource Plan requires acquisition of additional renewable resources including distributed and utility-scale solar and storage resources; and WHEREAS, alternate technologies, renewable resources, and customer energy solutions including efficiency, conservation, demand response, and distributed storage fall within the core duties of the Resource Management Commission per City Code; THEN BE IT RESOLVED that in order to understand the relative roles and cost-effectiveness of Austin Energy’s current resource mix, the Resource Management Commission asks the Austin City Council to direct Austin Energy to prepare a recurring Resource Report, updated annually, that lists all of its resources and performance and economic details including for each owned or contracted resource its total nameplate capacity, annual capacity factor, total annual energy output, and its role in reducing purchases in the ERCOT energy market, reducing congestion fees to Austin Energy customers, and reducing ancillary service purchase costs. This report should include: 1) all fossil-fueled and nuclear energy resources; 2) all utility- scale renewable resources; 3) energy efficiency; 4) distributed solar and batteries; 5) demand response; and 6) district heating and cooling. For each category, statistics will be provided for contributing or offsetting resources, estimating the values of: A) fuel; B) energy; C) capacity; D) ERCOT transmission charge and other costs and fees E) ancillary services costs; F) congestion cost reductions; G) estimated avoided distribution system costs; H) avoided hedging costs I) average estimated annual estimated total payments and costs; J) average per MW and MWh costs. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all future Austin Energy proposals to acquire future energy storage, renewables, demand response, distributed assets and alternative technology solutions through contracts with other wholesale providers should include an analysis that compares the cost, speed and risk factors of resource acquisition through contract to the alternative of Austin Energy directly acquiring, owning and operating a comparable asset, and an analysis of using preowned instead of new equipment; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Austin Energy add energy storage contributions …
Response To Staff Criticism of Proposed Resolution on Contract Reporting and Resource Cost Reporting Austin Energy: Some of the requested information cannot be discussed or released publicly because it falls into the category of Competitive Matters under Texas Government Code 552.133. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: This is a request to City Council, who can, by a majority vote, define what they want to be competitive matters. Austin Energy: Some of the requested information is outside the purview of the Resource Management Commission, including fossil-fuel and nuclear resources. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: Generally, I agree. However, as staff stated, some of this information is already public, and providing it as an easily accessible benchmark to the public to contrast conventional power sources to alternative resources should not be a problem. Austin Energy: Much of the requested information is already available publicly online via the Public Utility Commission, Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the United States Energy Information Administration. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: Much of the requested information is not already available online. Austin Energy: In addition to those already provided to Council, the Electric Utility Commission, or the public on a regular basis, several reports are provided to the RMC on a monthly basis on topics including, renewable energy progress, energy efficiency, and demand response. Commissioner Robbins Rebuttal: The information provided pales in contrast to what used to be provided. A key example of this is the program-by-program statistics and economic analysis that used to be provided by Customer Energy Solututions on an annual basis both in print and online. RMC should be given an explanation of why such reporting has ceased.
