The Spaniards barely established a toehold in North America in the 1500's. They mean to correct that mistake this time around.

The application for change of control of CNG & SCG from Iberdrola USA to United Illuminating was filed last Friday. The UIL filings can be found here:

United Illuminating to Acquire CNG from Iberdrola USA

06/03/2010 - 9:51pm

In a deal termed "risky" by the Hartford Business Journal Online, UIL Holdings, the parent company of shoreline electric utility United Illuminating, agreed to acquire CNG, SCG, and Berkshire Gas for $1.3 billion. Will President and COO Anthony Vallillo have to take a cut in his $1,332,532 Total Compensation in order to finance the deal? It is doubtful that CEO James P. Torgerson will allow his $1,927,604 to be touched. Or was that $2.26 million? (nearly all paid by the Connecticut ratepayers according to AG Richard Blumenthal.)

CNG Admonished for Arrogance by DPUC Commissioners

At the June 25, 2009, Oral Arguement of the DPUC Draft Decision on the CNG Rate Increase Request, Chairman Donald W. Downes excoriated CNG management for threatening to reduce the workforce if their rate increase request was not granted. CNG's attorney responded. Commissioner Anthony J. Palermino further warned the Company that it has the power to not only reinstate any laid off employees but may actually add to their numbers if it feels the safety and reliability of service to ratepayers is threatened.
