Has anyone gotten an electricity bill this month ?
The Centerpoint (TDU Delivery) fees increased on 9/1/2021 from the 3.7435 ¢ per kWh 4.6029 ¢ per kWh. The $4.39 flat fee remained the same.
I got my bill for 08/10/2021 – 09/09/2021 and my provider charged me the higher rate even for usage in August. Is this legal ? Shouldn’t they have billed for electricity usage in August at the old rate and used the new rate only for electricity usage done 9/1 or after ? I pulled my meter data from https://www.smartmetertexas.com/ and it’s easy to see the usage per day.
FYI. Here is a table I created showing various usages and the costs.
