The Connecticut Petitioners ask the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to resolve this controversy expeditiously and declare that the public utility power purchasers remain liable for all decommissioning costs but must refund to end-use ratepayers any costs that the Commission later determines were imprudently incurred.
