Staff of the Public Utility Commission of Texas have filed testimony proposing a marginal reduction, versus the new rates proposed by CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC (CEHE), to the proposed new September 1, 2018 Distribution Cost Recovery Factors (Rider DCRF) at CEHE

Staff's recommended rate results from various revenue requirement adjustments

Staff's proposed rates are higher than the current DCRFs, but lower than the currently tariffed DCRFs that would otherwise take effect on September 1, 2018 as had been set in a prior case

Staff's proposed DCRFs are below
