Attorney General's Office set to aid PUD in Enron battle

The state Attorney General's Office this morning is expected to announce its formal support of the Snohomish County Public Utility District's crusade to kill a $122 million Enron lawsuit.
The PUD, Attorney General Christine Gregoire and U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., planned a joint press conference at the utility's Everett headquarters to outline the latest assault against the bankrupt energy-trading company.

Gregoire was expected to participate via speaker phone, discussing "new developments to obtain rate relief and protect customers who were harmed by Enron's fraudulent activities," said Gregoire spokeswoman Maureen Scharber.

The PUD prematurely ended a nine-year electricity contract with Enron in November 2001, after revelations that the Texas-based company had manipulated energy markets during the 2000-01 crisis. Enron seeks a $122 million contract-termination fee.
