Alliance for Affordable Energy (@All4Energy) reported@la_psc Commissioner Lewis to SWEPCO representatives, "This is the problem that I've had with SWEPCO every time there is a regulatory proceeding. Is that you come up here and you try and get what you want by confusing us and moving things from docket to docket."

Alliance for Affordable Energy (@All4Energy) reported@la_psc Yes, we’re still talking about a storm from 2021. Staff suggested in the future SWEPCO should investigate whether “insurance” in the form of additional fixed price purchases or use of natural gas storage would be useful during the winter months to damper price surges.

Jason Talley (@JasonT1015) reported@iowahawkblog I’m here in East texas, our power went out this morning. A neighbor down the road told Swepco they couldn’t cut some branches down on his property near some lines awhile back. Needless to say, Swepco drove by this morning, cut the branches down and restored power, within in hour.

markus davidson (@ishulamite) reportedI'm posting my SWEPCO horror story on Twitter right now and someone from Swepco's Twitter acct reached out to me. We're messaging...well, it takes them about 15 minutes in between each message so at this rate maybe in 5 more days I'll have an answer. You can't make this up.
-
Alliance for Affordable Energy (@All4Energy) reportedFor Cleco and SWEPCO customers there’s also some good news — REFUNDs are coming. Last year your electricity regulators, @la_psc, approved a refund as part of a settlement associated with overcharging at the Dolet Hills coal power plant.

DalGal75 (@DalGal1957) reported@BurninTRanch SWEPCO has been replacing poles & transformers here for several weeks. They're apparently riding it out here, so we'll have extra feet on the ground if needed. That's comforting. Now, we're just hoping that the water system stays up & running!
