Texans Hit With Thousands Of Dollars In Energy Costs Won’t Get Bills Reduced

Texans who managed to keep their power during the historic winter storm earlier this month won’t see their electric bills reduced retroactively.

Some saw their electric bills jump to more than $10,000 during the storm due to a jump in electric company rates, and the Public Utility Commission of Texas on Friday determined it would not give consumers a break, NPR reported.
