The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) today announced it will take action on ordering additional refunds based on evidence gathered during three months of investigation by Southern California Edison (SCE) and four prominent California entities into why the state's wholesale power costs skyrocketed during the California power crisis. In response, SCE issued the following statement.
ROSEMEAD, Calif., March 26, 2003-Today's action puts us on a path to securing customer relief that we hope FERC expeditiously orders. We are pleased FERC recognizes the pervasive gaming and manipulation of the electric and gas markets in California and the West, but we realize that there's still more to be done.
