Judges urge Cap Rock Energy to cut electric rates
Three administrative law judges urged the Public Utilities Commission to order Cap Rock Energy to reduce electric rates by 7.5 percent. Cap Rock plans to ask the PUC to reject the recommendation, saying it is erroneous. The company had proposed higher rates for irrigation and cotton ginners, and had narrowed a requested revenue rise from 10 million to 5 million.
