“The Greedy Grid Crisis: Why GoodLeap’s Tesla Powerwall Program Is Texas’ Only Escape from Rising Electricity Inflation”

By Energy Solar Experts | October 2025

Electricity costs in the U.S. are quietly becoming the next major inflation story—and nowhere is the impact felt harder than in Texas.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), residential electricity prices have risen faster than general inflation since 2022, and are forecasted to climb another 13–18% by 2026.

Even worse, the Transmission and Distribution Utilities (TDUs) that control local delivery of power—like Oncor, CenterPoint, TNMP, and AEP—just raised delivery fees again this September. Texans are now paying up to 30% more just to have power delivered through the same poles and wires they’ve always used.

“These delivery fees are non-negotiable and unavoidable,” explains Luis Flores Bono, founder of Energy Solar Experts. “The retail providers might change, but the delivery utilities keep hiking costs every few months—and Texans have no say in it.”

 

The Reality: Electricity Inflation Outpacing Everything Else

The EIA’s Today in Energy report (May 2025) shows that:

  • Residential electricity costs have risen 13% since 2018, outpacing both gasoline and natural gas.
  • Utility infrastructure spending—on transmission, maintenance, and outdated grid repairs—has skyrocketed.
  • Energy expenditures are now the second-highest U.S. household cost after gasoline, averaging $1,760 per year and climbing.

And while other fuel prices (like oil and gas) have stabilized post-pandemic, electricity prices continue a steady, relentless rise—especially in deregulated states like Texas.

TDUs claim these rate hikes are needed for “grid reliability,” but most consumers see only higher bills and recurring outages.

 

 

Texas Homeowners Are Hit the Hardest

Recent data confirms:

  • CenterPoint Energy: +46.5% increase = $26/month more, or $313/year.
  • TNMP: +32.3% increase = $22/month more, or $266/year.
  • Oncor: +30.7% increase = $17.70/month more, or $212/year.
  • AEP Texas: +28.5–30.7% increase = $18/month more, or $220/year.

That’s $200–$300 per year in delivery fees alone, just to transport power you already paid for. And these fees will keep increasing every March and September.

 

The Big Picture: Policy Shifts Threaten Future Incentives

The Big Beautiful Bill—which sustained the federal 30% solar and battery tax credit (ITC)—is under political pressure.

If the tax incentives expire or shrink after 2025, homeowners could lose thousands in credits and rebates.

Analysts warn that proposed federal rollbacks could push energy costs up by 18% in red states like Texas, Oklahoma, and South Carolina by 2035, adding $700–$800 annually per household.

“If federal incentives fade, families will depend even more on fossil-fueled grids that keep inflating delivery costs,” notes the Clean Energy Buyers Association. “Solar and storage are the only way to hedge against that volatility.”

 

 

The Solution: Generate and Store Your Own Power

With GoodLeap’s Tesla Powerwall Program, homeowners can finally break free from the monopoly of the greedy grid.

Here’s how it works:

  • Rooftop solar produces clean energy during the day.
  • Tesla Powerwall batteries store that energy for night use or during blackouts.
  • Through GoodLeap’s GoodGrid program, homeowners can even earn $40/month by sending excess energy back to the grid.

 

Benefits include:

  • Slash or eliminate TDU delivery fees
  • Shield your home from outages during storms and heatwaves
  • Lock in a fixed, inflation-proof energy cost for decades
  • Qualify for the 30% federal ITC until January 2026

Unlike traditional electricity plans, this system turns your home into a personal power plant—producing, storing, and even sharing energy on your terms.

 

Why This Is Urgent

Every six months, Texas TDUs revise their rates upward. Inflation, grid expansion, and rising maintenance costs ensure your bill will never go down again.

The GoodLeap + Tesla program is the last window for Texans to secure long-term energy independence before 2026 tax incentives begin to phase out.

“We’re not just selling panels and batteries,” says Flores Bono. “We’re helping families escape an outdated system built on greed and inefficiency.”

Take Back Control

  • Live in a deregulated Texas area
  • Have a FICO score of 650+
  • Pay 13¢/kWh or more (TDU included)
  • Experience regular outages or grid surcharges

You may qualify for GoodLeap’s Tesla Powerwall Program, giving you energy freedom with zero upfront cost and guaranteed savings from day one.

 

Conclusion: The Power Revolution Has Already Begun

The Texas grid has become the perfect storm of rising costs, unreliable service, and shrinking transparency. But the future belongs to homeowners who take control.

Through GoodLeap’s AI-powered Virtual Power Plant, every Tesla Powerwall installed strengthens local reliability and rewards homeowners for producing clean energy.

This isn’t just an energy program—it’s a movement for independence, stability, and financial freedom in a time when electricity has become the new gold.
