Texas energy

The cost of electricity in Texas is tightly tied to the price of natural gas, which has more than doubled since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February.

Regulators at the Public Utility Commission of Texas may take steps toward overhauling how electricity is bought and sold in the state on Thursday. Consumer advocates and energy experts fear the changes could increase electric bills without improving the grid.

The Railroad Commission of Texas has approved a new rule to designate natural gas suppliers as "critical infrastructure." The rule does not create weatherization standards, however, and will not protect the grid this coming winter.
