GRIDDY

Ken Paxton announced on Monday he’s suing Griddy over large power bills passed onto customers during the February winter storm — days after ERCOT revoked Griddy’s access to the power grid. So where does that leave Griddy customers?

Customers who were still with Griddy on Friday will be transitioned to what’s known as a Provider of Last Resort or POLR. It’s considered a safety net for customers, but consumer advocates warn it’s not always the best deal.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Griddy, LLC, accusing the energy company of violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act “through false, misleading, and deceptive advertising and marketing practices,” his office announced Monday morning.

Griddy can no longer operate in the state of Texas. ERCOT, which runs the state’s power grid, has yanked Griddy’s right to do business saying the company has failed to pay some of its bills.
