In a written statement released late Wednesday, Atmos Energy said it fell short for customers who experienced interruptions in gas service last week. The company provided no information about how many were affected or what caused the problems.
“Though we worked to restore service as quickly and safely as possible, we apologize for that service disruption,” the company said. “We are committed to working with our regulators and key stakeholders to address those issues in order to provide reliable natural gas service to all our customers.” The problems began after an arctic blast swept into Texas last week and sent temperatures plummeting below freezing.experiencing very low natural gas pressures.
In a news release issued Friday, the city of Grand Prairie said Atmos Energy tankers were injecting gas into the lines, but the network had not yet recovered. According to Paxton’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
'We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.'
Such a sad little man. He cant control Atmos, so he attacks over nothing.
How did the wind and solar do during the freeze?
Did they not donate enough money to him?
How about looking into utility price gouging? My electric rates raised 60% this year.
Not sure RR Commission will find anything. Probably a cozy relationship between them and those they “regulate”. Paxton might find something- depending on political donations
