Cobos was appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott to oversee Texas utilities and ERCOT after the 2021 freeze.
Lori Cobos plans to step down from the five-member board of the Public Utility Commission of Texas at the end of the year to pursue private sector opportunities. Cobos was one of three people appointed to the PUC , which regulates the state’s electric, water and telecommunication utilities, by Gov. Greg Abbott in the months after the infamous February 2021 freeze, which caused dayslong outages across Texas and the deaths of at least 200 people.
“We've accomplished an extensive list of important milestones at the commission over the last several years, and I am proud and tremendously grateful I've been part of that amazing work.” Since her appointment in June 2021, Cobos has worked on reforming the Texas wholesale electricity market and on requirements for power plants to winterize their equipment.
