What are market securitization charges?
In the aftermath of 2021 Winter Storm Uri, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) approved a regulatory change to the Texas electricity market, including allowing ERCOT to obtain approximately $3 Billion financed through bonds to help stabilize the wholesale electricity market. These charges are passed through to you without markup. This charge is per kilowatt-hour and should be a relatively small amount on your monthly bill and will fluctuate with your usage.
