Cap Rock seeks deregulated status and utility unbundling
In 1999 Sen Troy Fraser backed an amendment granting Cap Rock a successor to a co op status to ease entry into deregulated electric markets. Rep Tom Craddick helped refine the text as irrigation rates rose for farmers labeling them revenue neutral. PUC reviews stalled and then asked AG Abbott for legality. Abbott’s opinion could moot the conversion as Cap Rock faces unbundling and a new operating license while serving about 17,000 customers in West and Central Texas.
