Bond Transaction
Last Wednesday, FMPA closed on the sale of $208,830,000 in municipal bonds for its All-Requirements Project (ARP) to finance capital projects, refinance existing project debt and tender a portion of Series 2016A Bonds. The sale netted nearly $13.1 million in gross savings. More information is available on FMPA’s website. Contact: Rich Popp

July Rate Calculation
Extreme heat in final week of July resulted in record peak demand (1,413 MW) and third highest monthly energy consumption (691 GWh) for the current 13 ARP cities.  The average billed demand and energy cost for FMPA’s All-Requirements Project in July was $58/MWh, which was 13% below the budgeted cost. The all-in rate was $6/MWh lower from prior month projections due to higher energy sales and physical natural gas sales.  Total external sales were 8% above budget with higher margin third party sales 44% above budget.  The Rate Protection Account balance was fully depleted at the end of July due to drop in curve. The agenda package from the ARP Rate Workshop is available via the Portal. Contact: Denise Fuentes
