ABILENE, Texas (AP) — A lot of people gripe when they get high summertime electric bills. But Kristin Harriger's bill was nearly $1.4 million.
The Abilene, Texas, woman immediately called her provider, Potentia Energy. She quickly learned that her bill was an error.
The utility provider also excused a $66,000 late fee listed on the bill.
Potentia told the Abilene Reporter-News (Update: Abilene woman zapped with $1M-plus electric bill » Abilene Reporter-News ) it had flagged the bill and had marked it to be held, but the bill mistakenly got sent out.
