Things are back to normal at the site of the transformer fire near the White House this weekend, but Pepco still has a lot of work ahead.
Tomorrow the Maryland Public Service Commission holds a hearing, and Pepco will have to answer why we've had so many power outages lately.
This weekend and last Thursday, underground transformer fires prompted the evacuation of several major hotels. Those incidents followed a series of major power outages from summer storms.
Complaints from customers and politicians prompted the Maryland Public Service Commission to schedule a hearing to look into Pepco's ability to service its customers.
The commission will focus on the numbers of people who lost power, how long they were without power, the root causes of the failures and Pepco's failure to communicate effectively with customers during outages.
Pepco faces the commission 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in Baltimore.
