Cap Rock Sets the Record Straight on Rate Filing
Cap Rock Energy Corporation responds to local press and groups claiming huge rate hikes. The release states total revenue increases of 14.45 percent approved by no final decision yet by the Public Utility Commission of Texas. It blames a small, wealthy customer group and St. Lawrence Association for lobbying SB 1280 to place Cap Rock under PUC regulation and vows to end subsidies among rate classes.

Cap Rock Energy seeks rate hike after PUCT order
Cap Rock Energy Corporation filed a rate increase application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas after a PUCT order requiring earlier action. The filing follows 2003 Senate Bill 1280 shifting Cap Rock to PACT regulation, with leadership warning against subsidizing any class and asserting efforts by irrigation farmers to undo the conversion and raise rates for all customers. Cap Rock’s leadership cites stock growth and investor interest as positive outcomes since converting to a shareholder owned company in 2002.
