Officials detail 'damages' LIers suffered from PSEG storm response

Public officials recounted the hardships Long Islanders faced during more than a week without power following Tropical Storm Isaias at a forum Tuesday, with some expressing concern about lingering PSEG system problems and LIPA’s ability to provide proper oversight.

Testimony from ratepayers about "potential harm" suffered as a result of PSEG Long Island’s missteps around the storm will be used by the state to determine the utility’s best path forward, according to Rory Lancman, the state’s special counsel on ratepayer protection.

In an interview in advance of the forum, Lancman said testimony will "hopefully inform our own judgement of what sort of resolution there should be between PSEG and LIPA, and what’s the best path forward for LIPA as an entity."
