SUBJECT
Title
A resolution suspending the effective date of the rate filing made by Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC on June 26, 2025, for an additional 90 days - Financing: No cost consideration to the City
Body
BACKGROUND
Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor" or "the Company") filed an application on or about June 26, 2025, with the City of Dallas seeking to increase rates within the city of Dallas.
This resolution suspends the August 13, 2025, effective date of the Company's rate request for the maximum period permitted by law to allow the City to evaluate the filing, determine whether the filing complies with law, and if lawful, to determine if the requested rates are appropriate.
The law provides that a rate request made by an electric utility cannot become effective until at least 35 days following the filing of the application to change rates. Oncor originally requested a July 31, 2025, effective date; however, Oncor and the City reached a Rule 11 Agreement to extend the effective date to August 13, 2025, to permit the City to take action at a regularly scheduled City Council Meeting. The law permits the City to suspend the rate change for 90 days after the date the rate change would otherwise be effective. If the City fails to take some action regarding the filing before the effective date, Oncor's rate request is deemed administratively approved.
The effective date will provide the City time to review the filing with Oncor Cities Steering Committee and return to City Council to take action prior to November 11, 2025.
