** HURF Energy Petition Update – August 8, 2012
Thank you for all your efforts to help the HURF Energy Petition. With your support and a tremendous final push, HURF was able to blast through the minimum required signatures – turning in a total of about 5000 signatures from suburban Austin households.

The greater Steiner Ranch area played a huge roll in this success. With about 1/3 of our households signing the petition, we delivered the highest participation rate and largest overall number of signatures from any community.

Congratulations on this accomplishment ! A special thanks to all those who put in the extra effort to help collect signatures from your friends and neighbors.

** HURF Energy Petition Update – September 8, 2012
Great News from HURF on the Energy petition!
Great news! Today Austin Energy informed the Public Utility Commission that it will not challenge HURF’s petition to the PUC. Now it is in the hands of the PUC. We’ll keep you posted.

** HURF Energy Petition Update – March 3, 2013
Great news from HURF – who has successfully taken our battle for fair energy rates to the PUC – the tentative agreement with Austin City Council will give us 3 three-tier rate structure out of the city and result in significant savings on Steiner area electric bills by reducing rates and reducing subsides to the city.
