WASHINGTON/NEW YORK ¨C Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossell¨® wants to cancel a tiny Montana company¡¯s $300 million contract to restore power to the storm-hit U.S. territory and expects help from the governors of Florida and New York, his office said on Sunday.
Whitefish Energy Holdings¡¯ contract with Puerto Rico¡¯s bankrupt power utility has come under fire after it was revealed that the terms were obtained without a competitive public bidding process.
Criticism increased after a copy of the contract with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority surfaced online on Thursday night and raised more questions, particularly over language blocking oversight of costs and profits.
