Texas State Executive - Public Utility Commission

State power generators continue to find themselves stuck between angry customers and Texas lawmakers as Gov. Greg Abbot and much of the state legislature seek to avoid blame by pushing for reversal of almost $16 billion in huge electric bills.

When energy analyst Bill Peacock wrote a letter to the Public Utility Commission (PUC) of Texas requesting electricity pricing data, he didn’t expect to receive a rejection letter in response.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas rejected Southwestern Electric Power Company's (SWEPCO) plan to invest $1 billion in an Oklahoma wind farm, but the company says it will continue to move forward with the project nevertheless, Talk Business reported.
