    1. Well…
      what do know. They actually ruled in favor of customers for a change. this is great news!

  1. What a ludicrous request. Should we have to pay retailers for clothes we didn’t buy, filling stations for gas we didn’t pump, or restaurants for meals we didn’t eat? Besides that, utilities fared far better through this than most other types of businesses. Shame on these greedy companies.

  2. What I am curious about is why no one has said a word about the shareholders of these publicly traded utilities taking the cut instead of rate payers. These are for-profit entities, unlike Citizens Energy, which is held like a public trust. How in the world public utilities got to the point of publicly traded companies still baffles me. Kudos to the IURC.
