PUC chair bids October decision on electric rate hike
Texas Electric Service Co seeks a 24.8 percent rate increase to take effect in November. PUC chairman George Cowden arrived in Odessa to speak at a Bar Association noon meeting and said the Commission would decide toward month end. The agency must balance consumer protection with utility financial integrity while handling thousands of consumer complaints. Cowden, appointed by Gov. Briscoe in 1975, noted the Commission also covers water sewer and telephone rates and pays about $42 000 a year to commissioners.
