The Nevada Public Utilities Commission has issued a notice of IBEW Local 1245‘s Petition to initiate an investigation into SPPC“s workforce staffing and planning. The Commission states that “interested and affected parties persons may file comments at either of the Commission’s offices on or before Wednesday, November 24, 2010.”
Local 1245 petitioned the PUC-N earlier this month, asking the regulatory agency to investigate the “graying” of NV Energy‘s workforce and other staffing issues that could affect the quality of the utility’s service.
Once the PUC has received comments its next likely step will be to decide whether to institute an investigation, and if so, what the nature of the investigation will be. Under its regulations, the PUC has 60 days to decide on what action to take in response to the petition.
