Bipartisan lawmakers urge FERC to block BlackRock’s AES acquisition, warning it could raise utility bills.
Quiver AI Summary
Lawmakers urge federal review: Representatives André Carson and Victoria Spartz, along with Senator Elizabeth Warren, are asking the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reject BlackRock/Global Infrastructure Partners’ bid to acquire AES Corporation.
They cite utility costs: In a letter to FERC, the lawmakers say the deal could add to already high electricity bills and argue the agency should block transactions that are not “consistent with the public interest.” They point to an estimated 47% rise in AES Indiana customers’ bills over the past decade.
Carson references prior concerns: Carson said public utilities should “answer to the public, not shareholders” and said he is leading a bipartisan effort to oppose the application. The release also notes his previous comments on utility accountability in Indiana.
