San Bruno: PUC judge orders PG&E to turn over 65,000 emails
2015-01-14 06:43:11| Energy - Topix.net
A state law judge on Tuesday ordered PG&E to turn over to state regulators 65,000 emails that may produce a more complete picture of what is described as a cozy relationship between PG&E and the California Public Utilities Commission regarding a fatal explosion in San Bruno and other issues. San Francisco-based PG&E was ordered to turn over the emails to multiple officials at the PUC as well as the city of San Bruno, which had formally demanded to receive the emails in a prior request.
San Bruno: PG&E to release 65,000 emails, PUC president calls city officials "nuts" and "emotional"

PG&E on Monday agreed to release 65,000 emails that have been demanded by critics who believe the utility and state regulators have a cozy relationship -- and also released a series of emails that included state Public Utilities President Michael Peevey describing San Bruno's mayor as "emotional" and San Bruno's city manager as "nuts." The new set of emails suggest that PG&E and top officials at the state PUC have worked cooperatively on an array of issues that go well beyond the close ties that have emerged in the wake of a fatal explosion in San Bruno more than four years ago.

PUC top boss tainted by scandals set to preside over final meeting
2014-12-18 02:50:20| Energy - Topix.net
The reign of state Public Utilities Commission president Michael Peevey, scarred by scandals linked to a fatal explosion of natural gas in San Bruno, will soon conclude, an exit that combined with the Wednesday announcement that the PUC's executive director is also stepping down, will leave the struggling agency without its top two leaders. Peevey is due to preside over his final meeting of the five-member commission on Thursday, ending a tenure marked by his efforts to bolster green energy in California -- but tainted by evidence contained in emails that he created a culture at the regulatory agency that encouraged a cozy and accommodating relationship with utility behemoth PG&E.

A state law judge on Wednesday ordered PG&E to produce more emails related to a widening scandal that has engulfed PG&E and the Public Utilities Commission over improper attempts to influence a decision on natural gas system rates and upgrades linked to a fatal explosion in San Bruno. The ruling requires the utility to produce all internal and external emails issued or received by 10 PG&E executives or consultants in connection with a $1.29 billion PG&E revenue request to upgrade its transmission system.

PUC blasts City Council for spiking sale of PGW
2014-11-15 16:57:53| Energy - Topix.net
An exasperated Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission signaled there may be serious repercussions as a consequence of City Council's failure to consider a proposed $1.86 billion privatization of Philadelphia Gas Works. Two PUC members suggested the commission, the state body responsible for setting rates, could force the city to give up the $18 million annual fee it now receives from PGW and spend the money instead on speeding up gas-main replacement.
