Texas utility manager rejects calls to fix $16B in overcharges

Texas’ utility manager rejected calls on Friday to fix $16 billion in overcharges that occurred amid power outages caused by last month's winter storm.

Arthur C. D’Andrea, chairman of the the Public Utility Commission of Texas, suggested during a commission meeting on Friday that the error would be too hard to fix, The Austin American-Statesman reported.

“It’s just nearly impossible to unscramble this sort of egg,” he said, according to the news outlet.
