Power chief seeks added authority to curb blackouts
U S power chief Chairman Charles Curtis told a congressional panel he wants new authority to require reliability standards for the nation’s electric utilities after the New York City blackout last month. He argued current rules rely on voluntary compliance and urged backing for a House energy bill provision. Curtis warned of national security risks and noted utilities sometimes cut costs by centralizing service areas, increasing transmission vulnerabilities.
