California PUC chief criticized: Some say shake-up favors power firms

By HARVEY RICE

The California regulatory commission that blamed the state's energy crisis on Enron Corp. and other power companies can be expected to chart a course more favorable to the state's utilities after two new appointments, according to consumer and industry groups.

The appointment by Gov. Gray Davis of a former energy executive as president of the California Public Utilities Commission and of a member of his staff to fill a vacancy could signal less aggressive investigations and a more favorable view of deregulation, they say.

Davis' decision not to reappoint Loretta Lynch as chairman, although she will remain on the commission, was interpreted as an indication she may have been too independent in pursuing investigations of state utilities and their role in the 2000-01 power crisis. The governor's office disputed those assessments, saying the appointments were unlikely to cause significant changes in policy.
