Davis blasts utilities for stalling bill paying Gov. Gray Davis has criticized Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and Southern California Edison for refusing to pay energy suppliers who use alternative power sources such as solar and wind to generate electricity. The lack of power from QFs aggravated this week's electricity shortages which forced rolling blackouts across the state.
Alternative power can provide as much as one-third of the state's average needs.
On Tuesday the governor said he will propose long-term contracts by the state with some 800 alternative energy generators. It does not pay for power the QFs have already provided, and for which they've not been paid. We have made partial payments to the best of our ability under current frozen rates.
