California's Natural Gas Prices Lead to Another Lawsuit
LCG, August 2, 2004--San Diego County has filed a lawsuit in San Diego Superior Court against major energy providers charging that the companies created fictitious supply shortages and fraudulently manipulated prices to raise profits and gouge California consumers. The companies identified in the lawsuit are: Dynegy, Encana, Aquila, Reliant Energy, CMS Energy, Coral Energy Resources, and Sempra and its subsidiaries - including San Diego Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Gas Company.Last month, similar lawsuits related to natural gas price manipulation were filed in San Diego County by San Francisco and Santa Clara counties against the same energy companies. Sempra has stated that the allegations are without merit.On July 28, Sempra Energy agreed to pay $7.2 million to settle allegations of Enron-like market manipulation during the 2000-2001 electricity crisis. "Under terms of the settlement, Sempra Energy trading has expressly denied the allegations raised by FERC," said Doug Kline, a Sempra spokesman.
