More Blackout Fallout: New Texas PUC Chair Resigns
Arthur D’Andrea, the chair of the Texas Public Utility Commission (PUC), who took the post just two weeks ago, has resigned. D’Andrea was the only remaining PUC commissioner and is the latest state official to decamp their position in the wake of a deadly winter storm in February that overwhelmed Texas’ energy infrastructure.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who appointed D’Andrea to the chairman’s post after the resignation of former chair DeAnn Walker, said in a statement late on March 16 that he asked for and received D’Andrea’s resignation, which leaves the regulatory agency devoid of members.
