CR Responsibilities• How a CR can recognize an ESI for new service at
AEP?– On ESI for Temporary Service, AEP includes the words
“LOT TEMP” as part of the service address.
![Page 18: Competitive Retailer Relations CR Workshop 2008. AEP Overall](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dba5503460f94aabc7a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CR Responsibilities• CR should verify that the ESI exists in the
ERCOT Portal prior to sending the MVI transaction.
• CR should submit an MVI Transaction to request service with the current date (10/16/08) as the requested date.– If all Customer requirements have been met,
the order will be scheduled the same day. The order will be worked on or before the 10th business day of the request date.
![Page 19: Competitive Retailer Relations CR Workshop 2008. AEP Overall](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110400/56649dba5503460f94aabc7a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CR Responsibilities• If the CR sends the MVI Transaction for a
new service request, with two days notice (sent 10/16/08 with request date of 10/20/08) the order will be delayed by two business days unnecessarily. This is assuming that all the customer requirements had been completed (i.e. Electrical inspections, etc).
• CR should monitor their 814.05 or 814.28 to obtain additional information.

AEP Processes• If an electrical inspection is required and has not
yet been received, AEP will send the 814.28 (Permit Req’d) transaction informing the CR the account is holding for City or County Permit.
– Permit requirements for all City/Counties can be found on our Web site at: www.aepcustomer.com/customerchoice/texas/providerinformation/PICitySelection.asp
