Cap Rock Energy asks PUC to reject flawed SOAH report
Cap Rock Energy urges the Public Utility Commission to reject a flawed SOAH report that recommends a rate reduction. The company defends its modest rate increase to fund electric system improvements as it transitions from an electric cooperative to an investor owned utility, citing stock ownership among employees and customers and rejecting claims tied to government affairs expenses. The Odessa American notes the column reflects the author’s view and invites reader comments.
