NRG’s report over estimated costs of power outages to the Texas economy by a factor of ten according to Commissioner Ken Anderson.
When people get their electric bill in the mail and open it up to find out how much they are going to shell out they don’t really think about TDSP charges. NRG’s report said the Texas economy should expect $14 billion lose due to power outages. These losses will be paid by consumers on their electric bill under TDSP charges.
The $14 billion will be divided across the state equally according to consumers’ power utility. The commissioner seems to think NRG’s report has over estimated the costs of power outages. So who is right? Consumers will have to wait and see on next years’ electric bills.
