CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC has entered into a settlement with Texas PUC Staff and several cities with original jurisdiction to lower the amount charged to retail electric providers under Rider TEEEF - Temporary Emergency Electric Energy Facility

The Office of Public Utility Counsel, Texas Consumer Association, Texas Industrial Energy Consumers, and Texas Energy Association for Marketers are unopposed to the settlement.

The Rider TEEEF reductions reflect the removal of certain mobile generation units from the TEEEF revenue requirement

The settlement rates are lower than the existing TEEEF rates as shown below

The settlement's TEEEF rates are proposed to be effective August 15, 2026

If necessary, to ensure rate implementation on this date, CEHE will implement interim rates effective for customers’ meters read on and after August 15, 2026, pending the final adjudication of the settlement.

No later than 45 days prior to August 15, 2026, CEHE will provide notice of the interim rates to retail electric providers via electronic mail.
