Colorado utilities are trying to pass on a half billion dollar gas price surcharge from the same week as the Texas disaster.
Meanwhile Oklahoma Natural Gas is hoping to charge a $1400 fee to disconnect gas service, or an $8 monthly surcharge for the next 25 years, to make up their losses this winter.
I wonder who made a fortune from the Feb 2021 price surge? Spot market contracts have a counter party who bets prices will go the other way.
A bit of a follow on from an earlier article:
