PSC Expands Investigation
WEST VIRGINIA....
At the request of its Consumer Advocate Division, the West Virginia state Public Service Commission announced this week it has agreed to expand its investigation into December power outages involving more than 200,000 utility customers. Originally, the PSC planned to investigate only Appalachian Power and Allegheny Energy, but now say they will include all electric utilities in the state. However, their investigation will not expand to telephone companies. An added third public hearing on the outages is set for March 18 in Iaeger. Two others are planned for March 11th in Clarksburg and March 16th in Mount Gay.
