“It is important that we consider the companies’ proposal, which is intended to prevent the Pleasants Power Station from discontinuing operations on May 31 and the employees losing their jobs,” said PSC Chairman Charlotte Lane. “Further evaluation is required before a long-term decision is made, but it is prudent to at least consider this interim action in the meantime.”
