Deny Oncor's request to raise electric distribution rates in Richardson
Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC has applied to increase its distribution rates charged to Richardson customers. The council would adopt Resolution No. 21-11 denying that rate increase, joining other cities through the OCSC coalition, hiring legal and consulting help, and requiring Oncor to reimburse the city's rate-case expenses.
If the city successfully challenges this rate increase, Richardson electric customers may avoid higher distribution charges on their bills.
