BACKGROUND
Over the past five years the Ciry of Denton has secured its place as a national leader in public power by
providing 40% wind energy to its customers with no corresponding increase in rates.
DME is responding to the future energy needs of its customers with the Renewable Denton Plan, a plan that
will enable us to increase Denton's renewable energy from 40% to 70% by the year 2019.
DME has engaged in public outreach by mailers, publishing information via website, and conducting open
house meeting with the public on October 19th and 27th, 2015. DME has received feedback and comments on
the Denton Renewable plan from these engagements. DME has presented the plan to the Ciry Council on
November lOth, December l, December 15, 2015 and January 5th and January 26th, 2016. The Public Utilities
Board conducted a public hearing on December 14, 2015 and recoimnended that the Ciry Council approve the
Renewable Denton Plan by a 6-1 vote. The City Council conducted a public hearing on December 15, 2015.
DME has conducted a public Question & Answer session on January 23, 2016.
