That’s because the cost of fuel makes up about a third of the generation cost for electricity, and in Texas, most of that electricity is generated via natural gas. Since so much of the industry uses natural gas, your power bill goes up when the price of this fossil fuel does. That can cause some real confusion if you’re not sure what’s going on, and you may see unexplained price increases.
