Williams Settles Many Claims in Western States

LCG, January 2, 2003-Williams Cos. has settled most of the lawsuits filed against it by California.

Many lawsuits were filed against energy generating companies like Williams after California's energy crisis in 2000/2001 forced the state's utilities into expensive long-term power contracts.

As part of the settlement, Williams will be free of California's claims regarding possible overpriced electricity. Some private class-action plaintiffs have also consented to the settlement.

California, in exchange, will see a reduction in its $4.3 billion energy deal with Williams. Williams will pay $150 million over eight years in addition to yielding some energy assets to California. Six generators, worth about $90 million, will go to the state.

Williams will also supply more electricity to California through 2001.
