Title
Approving a resolution suspending Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC's proposed effective date of July 31, 2025, for ninety days in connection with Oncor's statement of intent to increase rates filed on or about June 26, 2025; requiring the reimbursement of municipal rate case expenses; authorizing participation in the coalition of similarly situated cities; authorizing intervention and participation in related rate proceedings; authorizing the retention of special counsel; finding that the meeting complies with the Open Meetings Act; making other findings and provisions related to the subject; and declaring an effective date.
Summary
On or about June 26, 2025, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor” or “Company”) filed a Statement of Intent to increase its revenues by approximately $833.6 million, which equates to a net increase of approximately 13.0% in Oncor’s overall revenue. Oncor proposes to implement its proposed increase in rates effective July 31, 2025. For a Residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month, their bill would increase by about $7.00 per month.
The City must take action on Oncor’s application by no later than July 31, 2025. Failure to take action by July 31, 2025, will result in Oncor’s proposed rates being deemed approved by operation of law.
The law firm of Herrera Law & Associates, PLLC has previously represented the City and its participation in the coalition of cities named the “Alliance of Oncor Cities” (“AOC”) in rate matters involving Oncor, including Oncor’s most recent general rate case, and the numerous interim rate increases Oncor has submitted. The accompanying Resolution authorizes retention of Herrera Law & Associates as Special Counsel and continued participation in the AOC coalition.
Oncor’s rate-filing package is voluminous, containing over five thousand pages of data, in a 12-volume package of data. To have time to review the rate-filing package, the Council is requested to suspend Oncor’s proposed effective date for ninety (90) days.
