This applies statewide in the ERCOT region, not just Oncor territory. It does not change a bill directly; it decides whether data center grid costs land on developers or on the delivery rates everyone pays.

Oncor, the delivery utility for most of north and west Texas, asked for a delivery rate increase equal to about 4.7 percent of a typical total bill; cities negotiated it down and the settlement works out to about 3 percent of a typical 150 dollar total monthly bill, effective June 2026. Oncor cited storm restoration, inflation and a 36 billion dollar grid plan, not data centers.
What it means for your bill: In most of Texas you buy electricity from a retail provider you choose; Oncor only charges for delivery. These figures cover the delivery part of the bill that everyone pays.
