A U.S. Senator from Kansas says he’s been told by federal energy regulators that results of an investigation into price gouging during the February winter storm Uri will be coming soon.

It’s what Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas said in a recent interview reported the Topeka Capital Journal.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission launched an investigation after natural gas prices soared during the storm resulting in energy companies attempting to pass price hikes onto their consumers. The increased prices occurred not just in Kansas but across Oklahoma and Texas too.
