The Brownwood City Council on Tuesday approved making a one-time payment of $269,238.54 to ERCOT for ancillary service charges. The impact of the February winter storm resulted in high ancillary services costs that are billed to the City under its agreement with Gexa Energy.
The council was presented three options of payment:
Pay the entire amount by June 4, 2021.
Pay the charges monthly beginning with the invoice for June 2021 usage and continuing through December 2022. The monthly additional charge would be $14,493.63. This amount over the term would cost the city a total of $275,389.42, which includes interest in the amount of $6,150.88.
Pay the charges monthly beginning with the invoice for June 2021 usage and continuing through December 2028. The monthly additional charge would be $4,049.08 and would cost the city a total of $368,466.28, which includes interest in the amount of $99,227.74.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) â The CDCâs updated guidelines for fully vaccinated people brings good news to Green Bay businesses. But, they may require masks a bit longer.
For groups like PMI Entertainment, who manages the Resch Center, the new guidance means the venue is a step closer to having the packed concerts it once had.
âWe have things booked you know in the fall and things in the works for later in the fall and the year. Certainly a lot in 2022, so weâre optimistic and at this point planning to go full steam ahead for concerts in the fall.â
