New Service Delivery Presented by Milton Russell New Service Delivery Scope Team Members Training Methodology Project Start Date May 25, 2005 New Service Delivery Scope Beginning: Customer (builder, developer, home and commercial owner, contractor, etc…) contacts CPS Energy for new service (electric and/or gas service). Ending: Customer receives CPS Energy services through gas/electric meter. New Service Delivery Scope (cont.) Included in Scope: • Distribution system electric and/or gas only • Residential subdivisions Overhead (OH) and Underground Residential Distribution (URD) • Residential single family/multi-family dwellings, • Commercial developments OH and Underground (UG) • Mobile home lots • Streetlights installed as part of residential subdivisions. Not included in Scope: • Customers with existing services from CPS Energy • Civic and System improvement projects • Overhead to underground conversions • Transmission projects • Downtown network projects • Maintenance and Repair of existing infrastructure Team Members • Julius Moore – Team Leader – Years: 10 – Area: Transmission Planning/Underground Engineering • Duane Dugie – Years: 29 – Area: Customer Coordination/ EDS East • Mark Barth – Years: 34 – Area: Large Commercial Planning • Hubert Friesenhahn – Years: 24 – Area: Underground Cable Splicer/EDS East • Floyd Haman: – Years: 23 – Area: Underground Electric Distribution (UED)/EDS West • Charlie Martinez – Years: 28 – Area: Overhead Construction/EDS West Team Members • Jeanine LaRocque – Years: 23 – Area: Administration/EDS East • Karrie Satcher – Years: 5 – Area: Purchasing/Contract Services • Steve Blain – Years: 10 – Area: Subdivision Planning • Curt Alexander – Years: 13 – Area: Gas Marketing • Milton Russell – Years: 14 – Area: Underground/EDS East (cont) Team Members (cont) • John Harnsberry – Years: 1 – Background: HR and Training – Note: recruited from outside of CPS Energy • Glenn Frerich – Years: 28 – Area: Underground Energy Distribution – Note: Glenn replaced Floyd Haman in March 2007 TOTAL YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ON THE TEAM: 243 Years The NSDR Team received the following Training 1.

The Developer’s engineer is now the Joint trench coordinator for all utilities. (AT&T, Time Warner, Grande Communication, Guadalupe Valley) * If on CPS Energy’s approved contractor list. Developer Installed Infrastructure (cont) Advantages to Developer • Decreased time between the installation of wet and dry utilities. • Developer controls their timeline up to the point of pulling cable and setting transformers. Developer Installed Infrastructure (cont) Advantages to CPS Energy • Now we are focusing on CPS Energy’s core business; energy delivery • No longer acts as the project manager for the Developer. That responsibility is now with the Developer’s engineer. • No longer responsible for coordinating pre-construction meetings. All-in-One Meter Main Advantages to the Developer and/or CPS Energy • Safety – Eliminates temporary meter pole – Eliminates conduit and cable running across yards and streets – No exposed service entrance conductors – Reduced customer complaints on Temporary Meter Loop removal (TML) • Reduced Timeline – One trip at the beginning of project – Should cut construction time for developers due to availability of power – Eliminate coordination to install and remove temporary meter loop All-in-One Meter Main (cont) Advantages to the Developer and/or CPS Energy • Cost Savings – Expedites service installation – Reduces Builder’s cost – Less permits – Cost of permanent vs. temporary to final equipment cost – Reduce number of turn downs due to poor construction – Initiating 1 work order vs. the potential of 4 – 1 piece Module Meter Additional Initiatives • Elimination of supplying all self-contained single phase meter cans • Correcting and Standardizing CAM units to reflect the appropriate material (prerequisite to VMI) • Empowering our construction crews to participate in decision making regarding the reduction of trips to the jobsite • Right-sizing transformers • Integrated Supply/Vendor Managed Inventory Questions?
