BPU looks at effects of deregulation

by William Crum

Deregulation and how it could affect the Board of Public Utilities was one of the topics discussed at tonight’s Board of Public Utilities meeting.

Ingrid Setzler, director of environmental services, presented information about the Senate Utilities Committee and the effect of possible deregulation.

While there is talk at the national level about deregulation, officials are not sure yet what effect it would have locally.

BPU board member David Alvey was not present at the short board meeting tonight.
