The Company is seeking to increase rates by approximately $251 million over rates currently in place, or approximately 4.5% over present revenues. Residential customers would see an 11.2% increase in rates. If approved, a residential customer using 1,300 kWh per month would see a bill increase of about $6.02 per month. Additionally, the Company proposes to increase street lighting rates by 1.6%. The rate increase requested by Oncor will become effective on August 1, 2022, unless the city takes action to suspend the effective date. By statute, cities are permitted to extend the effective date by up to 90 days in order to study the filing. The city must take action to suspend the effective date by August 1, 2022. If your city does not have a regular council meeting scheduled before August 1 st or is otherwise unable to take action on the suspension resolution August I'`, please contact us as soon as possible. Attached to this memo is a model suspension resolution and staff report. In the past, Oncor local managers have provided cities with a model denial resolution and may recommend that the city immediately deny the rate request. If this occurs, we do not recommend that you deny the request at this time. Suspending the effective date allows cities more time to review the application and decide on the final action, including settlement or denial of Oncor's requested rate increase.
