Settlement reached on sale of Puget Sound Energy
By Associated Press
BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) - A settlement to clear the way for the takeover of Puget Sound Energy by Canadian and Australian investors was announced Tuesday.
The agreement includes major utility customers, critics of the $7.4 billion merger and the staff of the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, which has the final word on approval. According to a statement issued by the utility, details of the agreement will be filed with the commission no later than Wednesday. The commission staff previously opposed the takeover, saying it would increase the utility's debt burden. Puget Sound Energy is the largest private utility in Washington state with 1 million electricity and 725,000 natural gas customers. |
