Shares of Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC), declined -0.73% to $27.14, during its last trading session.
The U.S. agency that pays the government’s electric bills excused itself from its role in key hearings critiquing the Pepco-Exelon merger Wednesday, angering critics who had looked at the General Services Administration as the best hope to stop the deal.
Environmentalists and good-government groups have opposed the merger as bad for ratepayers and the environment. They saw the GSA and its deep bench of federal lawyers and technical experts as the only party remaining that had not supported the merger and also had the capabilities to effectively question the $6.4 billion merger.
After D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and others in the city government reversed their positions and backed the merger in the fall, the District’s Public Service Commission launched an expedited second review — condensing its evaluation into weeks, instead of months — and said it would issue a final decision early next year.
