Is this $20/month fee because of the new headquarters building?

No. The fee is only related to paying the interest on the $100 million emergency loan that was needed to pay the costs we have already incurred during and after the catastrophic ice storm.

The new headquarters building was a critical part of efficiently and safely restoring power. We dispatched hundreds of crews daily from this facility, held training briefings from our facility, and ran 100% of our emergency operations, dispatch, warehouse receiving operations, materials storage, and meals, all of which would have been nearly impossible with the layout and space at the prior facility. If this event occurred while we were at our prior facility, we would have had the added complexity of finding a second location to provide these logistics. The new HQ building and property provided us with a centralized space to navigate the ice storm emergency and recovery.
