PSC Challenges Receiver in Holly Springs Utility Crisis | Jackson News

The Public Service Commission is fighting back against a court’s decision to appoint a receiver for Holly Springs’ failing electric department, which has plagued residents with outages that ruined food and endangered medical equipment. The PSC argues the appointed receiver — who’s already been running the utility for nine months — doesn’t bring meaningful change and plans to file a motion to reconsider while demanding a forensic audit. The court’s order grants the receiver sweeping powers: control over all assets, operations, staffing, and contracts — with pay drawn from utility revenue — and bars city officials from interference. No end date is set, with mandatory 45-day updates required. Complicating matters, a federal lawsuit looms over $18 million in unpaid TVA taxes, with a pretrial conference scheduled for July 13th.
