CPS Energy

Several groups are investigating manipulation of the electric and natural gas markets during the Texas blackout. But the rules are different for different kinds of energy.

CPS Energy is exploring what officials call a provisional rate increase that could go into effect later this year.

Despite hotter-than-normal summer temperatures in the forecast, private electricity companies are pressuring the Public Utility Commission of Texas, or PUC, to allow power shutoffs for people who haven’t paid their bills. Many Texans are behind on bills.

A report on San Antonio’s response to the winter storm is expected to be ready by the middle of June, making it more than four months before the public fully sees the shortcomings of the energy crisis that left many residents without power and water for days in February.

San Antonio and Bexar County’s only power utility will likely restart disconnecting customers who haven’t paid their bills in the next few months.

CPS Energy is suing more than a dozen natural gas companies over high prices during the winter storm. It’s the second legal fight the utility is starting in hopes of reducing $1 billion in charges.

After the magazine 'Texas Monthly' published Arthur D'Andrea's comments to Bank of America investors, Gov. Greg Abbott asked for and received his resignation. D'Andrea will formally depart when his replacement is appointed.

The San Antonio City Council has approved allowing CPS Energy to seek up to $500 million in loans in order to offset the cost of high-priced electricity and natural gas during the winter storm last month.

San Antonio’s CPS Energy is suing ERCOT for what it calls “excessive, illegitimate and illegal prices” during the winter storm and energy crisis.

CPS Energy officials are still figuring out the cost of the winter storm and energy crisis that left hundreds of thousands of people in San Antonio without power for days — but early estimates total almost $1 billion.
