Public Citizen FERC Complaint RE: Public Service Electric and Gas Company’s Unreasonable Expenses Related to its Roseland-to-Pleasant Valley Transmission Project
By Tyson Slocum
A year ago, Public Citizen initiated proceedings to prohibit Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSEG) from recovering from ratepayers unjust and unreasonable expenses related to its Roseland-to-Pleasant Valley transmission project that was the subject of a FERC enforcement action.
Because FERC has failed to respond to our request to protect household consumers from PSEG’s unjust and unreasonable transmission rate, Public Citizen today files this complaint under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act (16 USC § 824e). We request FERC establish a refund effective date and hold a hearing to determine the scope of unjust and unreasonable rates attributable to PSEG’s Roseland-to-Pleasant Valley transmission project. FERC must set the matter for hearing to ensure that families do not shoulder PSEG’s unlawfully inflated charges.
