Energy East negotiating merger settlement with PSC

It appears that Public Service Commission staff and representatives of Iberdrola may be engaged in some quiet negotiations to solve the differences that are preventing the regulatory commission from approving the $4.6 billion merger of the two.

An administrative court judge, in a filing with the PSC, indicates that he is delaying further hearings in the case while Ibderdrola and PSC staff negotiate a settlement.

The PSC objects to the terms of the merger because it says there are insufficient protections for the customer.
