FY 2019-20 Denton Energy Center YTD April 2020 Dashboard
Key Trends
For the first 7 months of FY 2019-20, the DEC produced 26,426 MWh less than the same period of FY 2018-19. This
resulted in approximately $968,000 less in revenues and $2.3 Million more in total expenses for the same time period.
This increase was due to the annual debt service payment increasing from $10 M to $18 M in FY 19-20. As of April 30,
2020, expenditures exceed revenues by $6.48 Million which is expected for this period of the fiscal year. The FY 2019-20
Estimate includes a $1.5 Million reduction in fuel cost based on fewer estimated run hours, and a $420,000 reduction in
Personnel Services is anticipated as a result of vacancies. The FY 2019-20 Estimate for Insurance has increased by
$580,218 as a result of an increase in the cost of DEC property insurance and the acquisition of outage insurance.
Through April 2020 the DEC Gross Margin was $4.9 Million which is $3.4 Million higher than budgeted for the same period
(Gross Margin = DEC Revenue –Fuel Cost –Variable Operating & Maintenance Cost). This is due to higher revenue in each
month this fiscal year except December and January than anticipated.
Updates in the DEC Revenue and Energy Expenses for FY 2019-20 year-end projections show a $(7.48) Million Net Income
compared to the $(8.95) Million Net Income shown in the FY 2019-20 budget.

Key Trends
For the 2nd Quarter of FY 2019-20, the DEC produced 20,725 MWh less than the same period of FY 2018-19. This resulted
in approximately $900,000 less in revenues and $2.5 Million more in total expenses for the same time period. This
increase was due to the annual debt service payment increasing from $10 M to $18 M in FY 19-20. As of March 31, 2020,
expenditures exceed revenues by $5.6 Million which is expected for this period of the fiscal year.
Through March 2020 the DEC Gross Margin was $4.2 Million which is $2.8 Million higher than budgeted for the same
period (Gross Margin = DEC Revenue –Fuel Cost –Variable Operating & Maintenance Cost). This is due to higher revenue
in October and November than anticipated.
Updates in the DEC Revenue and Energy Expenses for FY 2019-20 year-end projections show a $(6.48) Million Net Income
compared to the $(8.95) Million Net Income shown in the FY 2019-20 budget.
