Did the City allow AEP / PSCO Electric Power Company to up their rates?

[Hoss]

Probably still in the bottom 5.

Gotta love the rates in Texas.. Deregulation FAIL.

I know, I lived in Houston for 3 years in the early 90s.  HL&P was hated worse than any iteration of CSW/PSO/AEP.

TW breaking blurb:


AEP-PSO asks state to raise utility rates $45 million

If approved as filed Friday, the average bill would rise $3.97 per month for customers using 1,000 kilowatts hours. The rate would increase 3.9 percent.

Still not sure how my bill went from 107.00 last month to 230.00 this month. But hey. They need more so lets all chip in and give it to them. Or buy a bunch of candles.

According to the full story, a rate increase still puts them below the state average, and Oklahoma is one of the cheapest states in the country, so my worry meter is pretty low on this one.

PSO has nearly tripled my electric at the hangar just to be connected in the last few years.  Electricity is extra.  They don't need any more money from me.

Yes they do. Pay your fair share...

But we are the ones with the natural gas, and a lot of our generation goes to other states (who are more than willing to take advantage of our looser environmental regulations), so, how much of that increase is subsidizing other states?
