This is solvable by giving everyone a fixed rebate.

  Typically this is done by utilities with price tiers (first 1000kwh costs X, next 1000kwh costs X * multiplier, etc). This trivially encourages conservation and discourages excessive consumption without complicated taxing and rebates. With that said, ERCOT has $20B worth of renewables projects in the interconnect pipeline, so the cost of energy should trend down over the next 3-5 years.
