West Virginia faces impasse on utility deregulation plan
A state Public Service Commission panel and a deregulation task force failed to reach consensus on moving from regulated monopolies to a market system by the August 28 deadline. Key disputes include stranded costs and whether utilities can use names and logos in marketing. The PSC will hold public meetings, with a Morgantown session on August 18 and a local hearing August 25 at Twin Falls State Park.
