Rate cases in Texas

Oncor Approved
About +$5/month on a typical bill. Oncor filed a comprehensive rate review on June 26, 2025 seeking about $834 million more in annual delivery revenue (a 12.6% increase for the residential class) to recover grid investment. A settlement with city coalitions and other parties, approved by the PUCT on April 17, 2026, cut the increase to $565 million (about $560 million net of credits) with a 9.75% ROE and a 7.8% residential increase; new delivery rates took effect about June 1, 2026, adding roughly $4.64 per month (about 3%) for a 1,000 kWh customer on a 15 cents/kWh retail plan.
CenterPoint Energy Houston Approved
About +$-1/month on a typical bill. CenterPoint Houston Electric's 2024 rate case initially sought about $17 million (1%) more from retail customers (about $149 million in base rates before offsets, a $1.25-$1.52 monthly increase for 1,000 kWh). After the City of Houston rejected the request, a January 2025 settlement cut annual revenue by about $47 million at a 9.65% ROE; the PUCT approved it March 13, 2025, lowering typical residential bills by about $1 per month through 2029. Separately, about $1.2 billion of Hurricane Beryl and other storm restoration costs approved in October 2025 add about $2 per month over 15 years.
