Sharyland Transition Issue:Sharyland Transition Issue:◦Involved approximately 172 Customers with

multiple ESI IDs where one ESI ID (primary) is with the Competitive REP and their remaining ESI IDs owned by same Customer with Default REP(s). PUCT Staff and SU Concerns: When Customer

contracted with Competitive REP (CR) on one premise Customer may have thought that included all premises assigned to the same Customer. Disconnect for Non-Payment (DNP) activities for these

premises were temporarily suspended. MarkeTrak Issues were created by SU that included both

Competitive and Default REPs to investigate Customer’s intent for all their ESI IDs.

Effective July 7th Investigations and recommendations were completed, therefore, DNP’s were reinstated.
