Md. Regulator Discusses Future Utility Reviews

Posted:

BALTIMORE (AP/WBOC)- The head of Maryland's Public Service Commission says all of Maryland's major electrical utilities will have to file reports on how they managed power restoration after the violent storms that rolled across the East Coast last Friday night.

Doug Nazarian said the utilities will have to file the major storm reports 21 days after power is restored.

The chairman said Thursday that regulators are now focused on restoration efforts.

Nazarian said the commission will evaluate whether utilities' systems should have weathered last week's storm better and what, if anything, should be done about that.

The chairman says as of 10 a.m., there were about 72,000 customers in Maryland without power. That means about 93 percent of customers who lost power after Friday's storm have been restored.

Nazarian said the greatest remaining restoration work is in Baltimore city, Baltimore County and Montgomery County.
