All-Women Slate of Appellate Advocates to Argue Historic Winter Storm Uri Case

Lawyers for some of Texas’ largest energy companies and their government regulators are scheduled to argue one of the most important cases resulting from Winter Storm Uri last year — and the lineup includes some of the most prominent women appellate experts in Texas.

Dallas-based Luminant Energy, a subsidiary of Vistra Corporation, and several other power suppliers are asking the Texas Third Court of Appeals in Austin to rule that the Texas Public Utility Commission illegally adopted two rules during the historic storm that allowed the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to increase the price of electricity 650 percent for four days.
