And now that the government has thrust them forward as the caretaker of the acquisition process, when can we expect to hear from the PUC? Well, we wouldn't advise you to hold your breath...
When asked for a comment yesterday on what is next for the PUC after Friday's announcement in the house, their Communications Manager told us via text, quote, "As BTL continues to undergo the recommended public consultation, the PUC is unable to comment on the process. Once that process is complete, all relevant parties will be in a better position to determine next steps.
The commission also reminds the media that consistent with (the) need for independent regulatory review, open commentary by the PUC on this live matter is restricted."
