  4. Power outage backlash

    Even before the Public Service Commission has heard a single hour of testimony about the response by Pepco and Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. to the recent derecho storm that knocked out power to more than a million Marylanders, the verdict is in — at least from electric consumers and the politicians who have been hearing their complaints. Two state senators are proposing fines that would amount to more than $100 million for each of the companies, an idea that the governor finds intriguing. Baltimore's mayor and the state's county executives have complained that the utilities failed to give them useful information about what areas were without power, which might have helped them prevent some of the 20 deaths attributed to the recent heat wave. And one of the highest-ranking members of the state's congressional delegation issued a report finding that Pepco was much slower to restore power than the neighboring utility in Virginia and urging the PSC to reject its bid for a rate increase, among other measures.
