Cap Rock Energy Corporation Announces New Procedural Schedule in Rate Proceeding MIDLAND, Texas, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cap Rock Energy Corporation (AMEX:RKE) announced the procedural schedule for the rate case it filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) has been amended. The final hearing, which was originally scheduled for July 6, 2004, has been rescheduled for October 2004. The PUCT was originally expected to issue a final order by the end of 2004. The Company anticipates that the PUCT will issue a final order by the end of the first quarter of 2005. The Company agreed to a revised procedural schedule, which included a delayed hearing date, to allow all parties more time to prepare for the hearing. "We believe this revised schedule will allow us additional time to respond to the massive number of discovery requests we have received from opposing intervenors. It will also enable us to gather additional information which the PUCT staff can use to more accurately evaluate our filing," stated Ronnie Lyon, Vice-President and General Counsel for the Company.
