New York's consideration of the deal has been drawn out as the PSC staff and Iberdrola parried over issues including Iberdrola's ownership of wind farms in Energy East service territory and how much rate relief Iberdrola should provide to RG&E and NYSEG customers.

The Aug. 20 PSC session is a regular meeting of the five-member board, while the Aug. 27 session is a special meeting. Both meetings will be held at PSC offices at Three Empire State Plaza in Albany.
