While using the service is"a gamble," the lawsuit said,"Griddy knew it was overcharging consumers, that consumers would be harmed, and Griddy would be unjustly enriched by retaining customers' payments."

Such a frivolous lawsuit. They are charging wholesale rates. You didn’t complain when your prices were super low. It was always a gamble. You should complain to state lawmakers and the Public Utility Commission of Texas for allowing wholesale pricing.

Why would you compete for essential needs? Smh I can’t believe this is even a thing.
