摘要

Pennsylvania utilities will sue to challenge any state law that extends rate caps, they said last week. They oppose the move on legal grounds, but also say longer rate caps would interfere with state plans to promote renewables and energy efficiency.rnThe issue arose last week as the Pennsylvania General Assembly debated energy issues in its special session. The legislature completed its regular session in June, but leaders agreed to hold a special session to address some issues, including Governor Edward Rendell's $850 million Energy Independence Strategy, which would support renewables, energy efficiency and biofuels (EUW, 9 July, 14).rnThe state's restructuring law required utilities to cap generation rates for a transition period. Most will retain caps through 2010, though PPL's will end after 2009. Consumer advocates and some legislators fear a repeat the 2006 experience in Maryland, where some rate caps ended just as utilities sought power in an expensive wholesale market, causing rate hikes up to 72% {EUW, 13 March '06, 22).
