Power bills in Ellis County

Most of the county is served by Oncor.

2025 base rate review (docket 58306) raised residential rates 3% from June 2026: about $4 to $6 a month on a $150 bill. 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.
