WHERE IS THAT EVENT TAKING PLACE?
Finding Your Way Around Sun City Texas
|
|
In our emails and on our website, event information often includes mysterious initials next to the date and time. Those abbreviations are actually the location of the event. To the right, SCB stands for Social Center Ballroom. Other abbreviations often used are: CCF/G for Cowan Creek Florence/Georgetown Room; ACA for Activities Center Atrium; and even SCPL for Social Center Parking Lot.
In the Quick Links section of this eblast (scroll down), there is always a link to the acronyms that we use. You can also find that list in the first pages of the Sun Rays magazine in the CA section.

City Adjusts Customer Energy Charges
The City of Georgetown will increase the power cost adjustment, or PCA, on customers’ electric bills starting Feb. 1. The PCA allows the City to recover costs associated with purchasing energy.
Customers will incur an increase of $0.0135 per kilowatt hour, resulting in a new PCA of $0.0175 per kilowatt hour through September. The average customer uses 949 kilowatt hours per month and will experience a $12.82 increase on their monthly bill.
Over the past few years, the energy market in Texas experienced a fundamental change. Forecasts provided by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the State’s energy grid operator, have proven to be unreliable. What were perceived as anomalies in 2016 and 2017, such as reduced consumption, unpredictable pricing, and unusually cold weather, masked the true impact of a depressed global energy market. The effect of depressed energy prices became abundantly obvious in 2018.
