CenterPoint-TDU Files To Increase DCRF Charged To REPs
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC applied at the Texas PUC for an increase in its Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) which is charged to retail electric providers
For residential customers, the proposed DCRF would be about 1 mill per kWh higher than the current DCRF, as shown below
For the Secondary Service Less Than or
Equal to 10 kVA class, the proposed DCRF would be about 1 mill per kWh higher than the current DCRF
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric proposes an effective date, for the new DCRF charges, of 45 days after CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric provides notice to REPs of approved rates under the application. Given the statutory time for PUC review and the open meeting schedule, CEHE's proposed tariff for the new DCRF rates includes a proposed effective date of October 26, 2026.
