Cotton mill in Lubbock enrolled in Oncor's demand response program. Successfully curtailed 850kW during summer emergency event but payment was only $1,200. Contract shows $4.50/kW so should be $3,825. Anyone else having payment issues with Texas demand response?
Oncor Texas demand response payment dispute
Check if they're calculating based on actual curtailment vs. nominated amount. Some programs only pay for verified load reduction, not the contracted capacity. Also verify the event was qualifying emergency.
Had similar issue with Florida demand response. Payment calculation included adjustments for baseline methodology. Make sure they're using correct baseline period for measuring actual curtailment.
Document everything - meter readings before/during/after event, curtailment actions taken, equipment shut down. Demand response contracts are complex but payments should match verified performance.
Demand response payment disputes are common due to complex baseline calculations and measurement protocols. Review contract terms carefully and verify curtailment measurement methodology. File formal dispute if calculations appear incorrect.
