Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Continued Transmission and Distribution
Investment Needed Throughout Texas
• According to the Texas State Data
Center, 10 million new residents
are expected in Texas by 2040.
• Though not shown here, areas of
Texas located outside the ERCOT
grid are also growing, both in
terms of population and
economic development.
• In the last two years, utilities
completed more than $4.0 billion
in transmission projects.
• The need for new and updated
transmission and distribution
infrastructure to meet population
and demand growth will require
continued investment.

Constraints and Needs,” January 2012 (map) and December 2013 (text)
14. 14
Transmission & distribution: Maintaining &
modernizing reliable grid infrastructure
• The ERCOT market has substantially advanced over the last 15 years.
• As of November 2014, TDUs in ERCOT have rolled out advanced metering systems
(AMS) to over 6 million customers. AMS improves grid reliability through remote
reading and the ability to better determine where power needs to be restored
following an outage event, such as a storm. It also makes switching to a new REP
easier while enabling innovative pricing plans, such as night and weekend rates,
when electricity demand on the grid is lower.
• Operational Benefits:
• Improved outage response through automatic notification of customer outage
• Enhanced ability to reroute power around an outage, thus improving restoration
time and minimizing the number of customers affected
• Reduced vehicle emissions by eliminating need to send crews to execute such
routine orders as turning electric service on and off
• Automated meter reading
• Remote connect and disconnect
16. 16
Modernizing the grid requires
innovative rate mechanisms
• The electric industry is changing, with electric competition, customer engagement
models and efforts to promote energy conservation and environmental stewardship
affecting the way customers use and receive electricity.
• Regulatory regimes that can timely adapt to the changing market and better align
stakeholder interests will succeed in promoting economic growth, innovation,
efficiency and investment.
• Many jurisdictions have adopted alternatives to the traditional rate case process to
achieve these goals.
• These innovative rate mechanisms provide significant benefits to regulators, utilities
and their customers.
17. 17
Reliability activities outside ERCOT
• Market participants
located outside the
ERCOT grid work with the
FERC and several
regional utility-reliability
councils—or “power
pools” of interconnected
suppliers—to ensure the
reliability of their power
grids.
• For reliability purposes,
the non-ERCOT power
pools are electrically
interconnected with the
nation’s larger grids, but
in emergencies they can
electrically isolate
themselves.
18. 18
Electric generation: Meeting the needs of a
growing state
• The passage of wholesale electric competition in 1995 and retail electric competition
in 1999 helped spur the construction of dozens of new power plants, providing Texas
with a reliable source of power.
• Given the ongoing economic growth in the state, reliable generation needs to be in
place to continue to attract new businesses and industries.
• In recent years, the state’s electric reserves have fallen as loads have grown
and wholesale prices have remained unsustainably low, though relatively mild
summers in recent years have helped to avoid reliability concerns in the
absence of new generation.
• However, before a summer as hot as 2011 returns, generation investment will
be needed to maintain the level of reliability that Texans have come to expect as
the Texas population and economy grows.
• Texas remains a leader in low emissions rates, producing less NOx, SO2 and CO2 per
MWh of electricity than the national average.

Water usage In the average household
• Dependable water supplies are essential to
the reliable generation of electricity, so
electric generators are among the largest
owners, builders, and operators of private
reservoirs in Texas.
• Electric generators are very efficient in terms
of the water, consuming less than or equal to
4 percent of Texas’ total water demand.
• In addition, only about 3 percent of average
total household water use is attributable to
the generation of electricity used for the
home.

1. Over the past 15 years, the competitive electric market has grown and met
customers’ needs in ways never imagined.
2. To build their businesses, REPs compete for customers in ERCOT, finding new and
innovative ways to differentiate themselves.
3. Maintaining a reliable grid depends on ensuring we have the investment needed to
build and maintain the poles and wires to deliver electricity from power plant to
customer.
4. While Texas has added significant generation to its fleet over the past 15 years,
reliable generation needs to be in place to continue to attract new businesses and
industries.
5. Over the years, Texas’ electric generators have used new technologies to lower the
