PITTSBURGH (AP) — The state Public Utility Commission is accusing West Penn Power of not properly maintaining a spliced power line and not properly training its employees before the line failed and fell on a woman who was fatally shocked and burned in front of her mother-in-law and young daughters in 2009. A statement by FirstEnergy Corp., which owns West Penn, said the complaint is under review and that the utility “will respond to the commission in due time.” The utility stressed that the complaint is separate from a lawsuit filed on behalf of the family of 39-year-old Carrie Goretzka, of Irwin. The family’s attorney in January asked the PUC to investigate based on depositions he has taken in the lawsuit stemming from Goretzka’s death in her own backyard in June 2009. The family is suing Allegheny Energy Inc., Allegheny Power and West Penn Power. Allegheny Power was an Allegheny Energy subsidiary renamed West Penn Power when Allegheny Energy and Akron, Ohio-based FirstEnergy Corp. merged last year. The PUC’s nine-page complaint, filed May 30 and obtained today by The Associated Press, echoes allegations the family’s attorney, Shanin Specter of Philadelphia, made when he asked the PUC to investigate not just the 7,200-volt power line that was spliced in 2004 and killed Goretzka five years later but also all other lines spliced by the defendant companies.Puc west penn power to blame in pa electrocution - Cell Phone Data Cable ManufacturerPuc west penn power to blame in pa electrocution - Cell Phone Data Cable ManufacturerPuc west penn power to blame in pa electrocution - Cell Phone Data Cable ManufacturerPuc west penn power to blame in pa electrocution - Cell Phone Data Cable ManufacturerPuc west penn power to blame in pa electrocution - Cell Phone Data Cable ManufacturerPuc west penn power to blame in pa electrocution - Cell Phone Data Cable ManufacturerPuc west penn power to blame in pa electrocution - Cell Phone Data Cable Manufacturer I am an expert from ppbattery.com, while we provides the quality product, such as Cell Phone Data Cable Manufacturer , High Power Led Flashlights, Lifepo4 Rechargeable Battery,and more.
