City Could Get Utility Ruling Soon on Fuel Adjustment Clauses
The Texas Supreme Court may fast track San Antonio's bid to rule on the legality of CPS fuel adjustment clauses. City officials warn a ruling against CPS could force repayments and imperil coal plant construction, risking a citywide utility default and bond market damage. The appeal stems from a lower court's invalidation of the charges and demands for about $180 million in refunds.
