Reading your Texas electric bill can be confusing. Here are some tips to help.
The basic bill consists of three key parts: the energy portion, the transmission and distribution portion and taxes and fees. The detail and complexity of the bill you get from a retail provider depends on a few things: who the retail electricity provider is, the plan you chose and how much detail the provider includes for the pass-through charges from the transmission and distribution utility. In Houston, that’s investor-owned CenterPoint Energy.
If you purchased another product directly from your retail electricity provider, like a surge protection plan, it would likely show up on your bill as another line item.The other line items on your bill represent charges handed down from the transmission and distribution utility –The utility sends your retail electricity provider the reading from your meter and a list of charges each month., where members pay a monthly price to have the company handle their electricity plan.
A lot of things go into that per kilowatt-hour fee charged from the utility, Kinchen said, and the retail provider may choose to list some of them as line items on the bill. The majority of the fee goes toward paying back the utility for providing and maintaining the network needed to deliver electricity, such as building substation stations, upgrading power lines and trimming trees around equipment.
