HB4492
After Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, there were several changes to laws, regulations, and market rules in the State of Texas made by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
Some of these changes increased supply costs in Texas. Recently a portion of these changes were finalized. As a result Texas customers will see increased charges as pass through costs.
How much are rates increasing?
Rate increases will vary by your utility and location. Over the past year in Texas, the average CenterPoint rate increased from 10.6¢ to 18.4¢ per kWh a ~70%. In the past month the average rate has increased almost 30%.
If you are renewing a contract from years past you will likely see an significant increase in your rate. For reference, rates from 2020 were generally lower than 10¢ per kWh. Seeing rates above 15¢ may be a bit shocking.
In conclusion prices aren’t falling in Texas they are rising and fast, in the last month it’s gone up 30% makes a complete fallacy of what PW is telling us about this phantom ppa deal. Why does he insist Leccy is going down ?
