BTU (Bryan Texas Utilities) customers watching their pennies when they receive their bills will notice a small adjustment that is due to rising transmission costs that are charged by the operator of the state’s power grid.

Public information officer Meagan Brown says BTU takes data from ERCOT to make the minor rate changes.

Brown says “in order to make sure that we are truly cost of service and we’re not subsidizing that with any other portion of the rate, we’re having to increase those costs for some and reduce them for others.”

As of June 1st, what is called a pass through cost went down ten cents for BTU rural customers inside the College Station city limits. The charge increased 15 cents in the rural residential area outside of College Station. And BTU customers in Bryan will pay another 17 cents a month.
