They are perfectly consistent.
In Texas you pay for energy and you pay a delivery charge. The "local" utility generally has a fixed delivery charge, like maybe 4-5 cents per kWh. If my "all in" rate is 11.5, the energy charge is 7 cents and the delivery charge is 4.5 cents. All depends on your contract.
Market rate for electricity changes every 15 minutes. So people get the market rate which could be very low (winter) or very high (August). But you do not get the delivery charge.
They used to be some plans that you paid the 15 min market rate. Which is OK until you hit August and the rate goes to $50 (yes dollars) per kWh.
