 Texas proposed that the interim fuel refund be implemented over a three-month period beginning with the first billing cycle in February 2025 for residential and other small customers and through a one-time credit, or surcharge depending on historical usage for the respective customer, for certain transmission voltage level and seasonal agricultural customers in February 2025.
