WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last night, Attorney General Karl A. Racine filed official testimony on behalf of witnesses for the District of Columbia with the District’s Public Service Commission regarding the proposed Washington Gas merger. The testimony opposes an application by AltaGas, a Canadian energy holding company, to acquire WGLH, the owner of Washington Gas, the District’s distribution gas utility.
Attorney General Racine said the proposed acquisition would not be in the public interest.
