More FERC Challenge stories - UPDATED! 01/11/2012
I know there's another topic started for this list, but it's slipped quite a ways down the page, thanks to TrAILCo's shenanigans, so let's start another one because the weeklies are publishing now. Here's an article in The Shepherdstown Chronicle. Reporter Kelly Cambrel does a great job with a difficult subject, but contrary to what's stated in the article, the January 2011 Challenge detailed 2009 expenses, and the December 2011 Challenge detailed PATH's 2010 expenses. We haven't gotten to their 2011 expenses yet. Here's an article in The Spirit of Jefferson. "An official with American Electric Power said the company is entitled to recover reasonable expenses of the PATH project. "It is certainly their right to intervene. They have a different view on recoverable expenses," said Geri Matheney, a director of corporate communications for Appalachian Power, a subsidiary of American Electric Power. "It is certainly their right to question the expenses. FERC will decide whether there is merit in their complaints or not. We are entitled to recover the reasonable and prudent expenses of the PATH project.'" Well, that certainly blows a few holes in all Randy's legal efforts at FERC over the past 3 months, insisting that we don't have standing and are not interested parties. Now we find out that AEP doesn't agree with Randy and PATH's legal team. Isn't that refreshing news? Maybe Jeri should take a few notes from Todd "the school girl" Meyers and adopt the "no comment" thing. But then again, she's probably not likely to get stuck in an elevator or accidentally meet up in the Men's Room with Mr. Personality either. Jeri just doesn't know when to shut up. :-) More to come... CommentsDa hillbilly 01/12/2012 6:56am
Once again the AEP baffoons have jumped. Thanks folks! The ineptitude of AEP reps is simply amazing. If they all took the Todd "walk of shame" aproach to questions they may not end up with quite as much "egg" on their preverbeale faces. Randy and Geri don't seem to be on the same page. How's that sit with you Whaaaaandy? I bet that vein in your forhead is right about to the bursting point, huh? Well, one thing we have all seen over the past few years of fun ... a united front of opposition can and will prevail over arrogance and ignorance. I can honestly say that the AEP comedy always keeps me in stitches!

Well, AEP has had a recent change of leadership in their legal department. And the new guy was pilfered from Allegheny Energy.

How many of these clowns will come out of the first Energy Volkswagon Bug making balloon animals, tooting horns and throwing confetti? Or will they all simply exit the Bug with their heads hung low in true "walk of shame" school girl fashion?

PJM can't comment on an open FERC case that they have nothing to do with? PJM didn't seem to have any problem commenting about the PATH case over and over again and that one has been "open" since 2008. PJM just doesn't want to own PATH's thievery from ratepayers or get wrapped up in PATH's conspiracy. I think it's too late for that already.
