National Power Company is SORRY!!! Houston, TX
May 15, 2008
I got an email from channel 2 reporter Amy Davis and PUC had done their job well! Read the following:
BREAKING GOOD NEWS!!
I just received this email message from David Barrett, the Chief Financial Officer of National Power Company:
“National Power Company has decided to rescind the scheduled rate increase set for late June 2008. All Fixed rate pricing and terms shall remain as originally agreed. National Power Company apologizes for any confusion caused by the rescinded letter. All customers to whom the rate increase letter was sent to will receive additional confirmation via mail.”
National Power Company met with the PUC today. A PUC spokesperson told me Barrett told them he would be making this announcement and the PUC says the news is “encouraging.”

Fool me once, shame on you – fool me twice, shame on me. I will stay with them until my contract expitres and then find a new supplier. One that I can trust and does not require threat of legal action to live up to their contract.

This has happened a handful of times with some other providers. Apparently in 2002 – 2003 Tara Energy and Trieagle raised their rates in a similar way but the PUCT sided with them and so the consumers lost. This time it looks like with over 300 complaints to the PUCT by National Power Company customers the consumers have won. I believe Riverway Power did the same thing but the backlash was nothing like with NPC. Hopefully the PUCT will start cracking down on this type of fraudalent behavior as a matter of practice.

Robert,
I can’t agree with you more. Once the contract is up, I am so out of there!
NPC didn’t get away with it!,
I think maybe because this is an election year so the PUC was more consumer friendly? It’s just my wild guess.
