WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives Natural Resources committee, citing concerns about power contracts in the wake of Hurricane Maria, is set to hear testimony on Tuesday from Puerto Ricos oversight board and the territorys bankrupt power utility, PREPA.
The panel is looking at whether the oversight board in charge of managing Puerto Ricos finances needs additional tools to help the island recover from the devastation, its staff said in a memo announcing the hearing.
