The reasons for this rate adjustment are to reflect changes in the Company's operating expenses and capital costs, which are largely attributable to the commercial operation of two new generating facilities, the South Texas Project Unit 1 and the Limestone Electric Generating Station Unit 2. Ye are including with this letter a Petition for Authority to Change Rates, the proposed revised rate schedules for the Company's. tariff, and supporting testimony which has also been filed today with the Public Ut~ity Commission of Texas and other municipalities served by the Company. We have requested that the new rates become effective on December 29, 1988, and apply to all service taken by each customer on or after that date. The rate changes sought in each municipality and in the area under the original jurisdiction of the Public Utility Commission are uniform for each customer class throughout the Company's service area. Ye believe this rate adjustment is in the best interest of both the Company and the customers and communities we serve. It is a privilege to serve your City, and it will remain our objective to keep our rates at the lowest reasonable level --- consistent with providng reliable service.
