They are, actually. The PUCT has historically done a great job.
But, legislation (outside PUCT) has allowed the utility (generators and transmission/distribution asset owners) to cut the system to the bone and defer maintenance and expansion despite a new city's worth of people (~100k) relocating each month to Texas.
- cratermoon 4y agoSo you're saying that except for the laws the control what PUCT can regulate, regulation is working fine?
- thehappypm 4y agoTexas’s population is not increasing by 100k/month. Sure, people may be flocking there but actual population growth is less than half that rate.
- tomrod 4y ago50k per month is still 600k/year! The point remains that the population growth (which is known and anticipated) is not having utility growth to match.
