Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett told the the County Council Tuesday morning he wants to take a less active role in regulatory proceedings against Pepco.

In an effort to create new regulations and increase reliability, a panel established by Leggett published a report in February detailing Montgomery County residents’ problems with Pepco service over the previous year. According to the report, power outages have cost residents between $22.9 and $114.6 million and businesses between $21.1 and $211 million in the last year.
