Sharyland Transition to Competition
 STTF Scope Statement – Approved by RMS
In accordance with the Final Order in PUCT Docket No. 39592,
Sharyland Transition Task Force (STTF) has been assembled to discuss,
develop, and document processes that allow for seamless transition of
the former NOIE Customers (inclusive of Brady, Celeste, Colorado City,
and Stanton territories) into the competitive ERCOT Market. This entails
transitioning Customers from Sharyland’s integrated utility to the
Competitive Retailer of choice or Default REP and the loading or creation
