Gregoire Calls for Broad Look at Western Power Markets
Olympia -May 7, 2001 - Federal regulators who are examining the fairness of wholesale electrical pricing in the West should look at price setting at all times, not just when reserves are small, Washington state Attorney General Christine Gregoire believes.
In papers filed today with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Gregoire said she commends FERC's decision 10 days ago to launch an investigation into wholesale electrical prices throughout the West, but believes its scope is too narrow.
