WTU seeks rate hike from 14 rural co-ops in Texas
West Texas Utilities proposes an average 10.6 percent wholesale rate increase for electric energy sold to 14 rural electric cooperatives including Stamford Electric Cooperative and one municipality. The bill targets $2.26 million extra revenue in 1980, effective Jan 1, 1980, with contracts expiring Dec 31, 1979. WTU cites rising costs and adds a demand charge ratchet to encourage load leveling and energy conservation. Sayles notes fifteen years with no hike and ties the change to inflation and cost of service.
