More exports, and the lingering effects of extreme weather, could affect bills.

A state-mandated review of the Public Utility Commission of Texas found the agency “cannot truly fulfill expectations for ensuring a reliable electric grid” without increased funding and an improved “decision making process.”

For nearly a year, KXAN has investigated physicians with clean records on the Texas Medical Board’s website, despite having a history of disciplinary actions. Now, we discovered that even when the courts determine a doctor is liable for medical malpractice — including cases where somebody died — patients and the public are often still left in the dark.

Electricity prices are high because there are not enough transmission lines connecting renewable sources in West Texas to cities in the east.

Consumers across Texas have already received sticker shock as they've renewed or signed up for electricity plans in the state's deregulated power market.

The chairman of the federal agency that regulates that nation’s energy system said Thursday that an investigation into whether natural gas providers manipulated the electricity market during the February 2021 freeze has uncovered “anomalies.”

Some sort of funny business happened in the natural gas markets during the deadly February 2021 freeze and power outage.

One year after the deadly blackout, officials have done little to prevent the next one—which could be far worse

Texans are on the hook for $3.6 billion in natural gas costs incurred by utilities during one freezing week in February — a burden consumers will bear for a decade or longer.

Policymaker should embrace renewables and address reliability by incentivizing new technology and reducing demand.

Two-thirds of Texans experienced power outages, and 30 percent saw storm damage to their homes during the February Freeze, according to a University of Houston poll. Yet Craddick gave a full-throated defense of the state’s natural gas industry, which she is supposed to regulate, so we have the energy we need.

Natural gas producers reduced output days before power cuts. Millions face the prospect of higher gas prices for years to come.

Thanks to skyrocketing energy costs during the February freeze that paralyzed the state and killed hundreds of people, Texans will be paying billions of dollars in higher gas and electric bills for decades.
