WACO, TX â The Public Utility Commission lifted the ban, Friday morning, that restricted electricity providers from shutting off power for households and businesses that were late on payments.
The disconnect moratorium was in effect due to the state of emergency and financial impact of February s Winter Storm Uri.
The meeting with PUC Chairman Peter Lake and commissioner Will McAdams opened up for general public comment; speakers were limited to three minutes each.
Steve Crawford, Director of Operations at Huggins Honda, expressed his concern over electricity bills that are now four times the amount they would normally pay.
