In a move that’s earning applause from residents, both the Fort Worth and Benbrook City Councils have voted to reject Oncor Electric Delivery’s proposed rate increase.
The decision follows Fort Worth’s determination that Oncor’s requested hike was excessive, directing the utility company to maintain current rates and reimburse reasonable expenses related to the case. Benbrook’s City Council echoed the sentiment with its own unanimous “no” vote on October 16.
The rulings come as a win for local households and businesses already navigating higher living costs. By standing firm, city leaders are signaling a commitment to keeping essential services affordable for residents across Tarrant County.
