Lower Price

• Size allows Public Power Pool better leverage, resulting in lower supplier margin

• Diversity of members’ loads lowers prices, as suppliers are able to meet our total load requirement with less physical generation capacity

• Ability to buy sophisticated products further lowers supplier margin while allowing for no cross subsidization

• Low administrative fee - Public Power Pool's aggregation fee is the lowest in the industry
  at 0.48%

Greater Negotiating Strength
As the largest aggregation in Texas, Public Power Pool commands greater purchasing power which results in better contract terms than members can get on their own.


Ability to Develop and Implement a Sophisticated Long-Term Buying Strategy

The typical strategy of buying all power for a specific term at single point in today’s extremely volatile market is risky.  Public Power Pool’s size makes a long-term purchasing plan both cost effective and achievable.
