The Public Service Commission is leaning toward requiring electric utilities to enter into new, long-term power contracts to increase electricity supply, despite companies' concerns that it would interfere with energy markets. Commission Chairman Steven Larsen says the commission is inclined to encourage regulatory intervention to push for additional supply "rather than waiting for the market to essentially solve our problems."

Monday, the commission released a report recommending "a series of interventions" to respond to a looming shortage of electricity capacity and high prices.

Larsen presented the report's findings to state lawmakers on the Senate Finance Committee this afternoon.
