That means that they&#8217;re more than one month late on updating their complaint scorecard for Texas <a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/electricity-rates'>electricity providers<\/a>. And the latest data for consumers is more than two months old.\u00a0If the PUC were updating it according to schedule, we&#8217;d have had the March scorecard posted at the beginning of this month, and we&#8217;d be days away from the release of April&#8217;s scorecard. But there&#8217;s no telling when they&#8217;ll actually get around to updating it. \u00a0And now that summer temperatures are starting to creep into Texas, and a majority of people will be doing their shopping for new electricity providers, customers need the latest data more than ever to help them make informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this isn&#8217;t the first time in recent memory that the PUC has been tardy with their scorecard. I&#8217;ve previously written about\u00a0overarching\u00a0issues in November of 2012, January of 2013, and February 25th of 2013. That means that outside of December (where I possibly missed it because of the holidays), the complaint scorecard hasn&#8217;t been updated on time in almost 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the last time they updated their complaint scorecard was 3 days after the last article I wrote calling them out for failuring to keep it regularly refreshed. Coincidence? I guess we&#8217;ll see when they get around to updating it again this time. One thing is certain, however. It&#8217;s difficult to give the PUC any kind of grade other than &#8220;F&#8221; for their efforts on the scorecard to date.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: After my post this morning, coincidentally, no doubt, the PUC updated everything for March about 2 hours later. It only took 29 days and one public question to get there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PUC Complaint Scorecard, one of the primary resources for consumers to research Texas electricity providers, is once again out of date.
