In my opinion, a huge part of Oncor&#8217;s problems stem from poor communication with their consumers. Anyway, I took a look at some of the problems, offered up some theories on why the problems might exist, and specifically offered up some thoughts on the Smart Meter issues, including the possibility that the Smart Meters are creating higher bills for customers, not because they are malfunctioning, but because Oncor has been giving away free electricity for decades.
