MBEF Statement on Today’s PSC Vote
Jefferson City, MO – Missourians for a Balanced Energy Future (MBEF) expresses sincere disappointment with the perceived bailout for Noranda Aluminum granted today by the Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC). Executive Director Irl Scissors released the following statement:
“To shift approximately $80 million of one company’s electric costs onto the backs of other ratepayers in Ameren’s service territory is simply unfair and unjust.” “We remain encouraged that the order is expected to contain significant consumer protections to the benefit of Missourians. The Commissioners’ comments also indicated that this should be the last handout granted to Noranda and anything beyond this rate shift should be addressed by the General Assembly and the Department of Economic Development.”
