Consolidated Signs Pact With Co-op as N.H. PUC Reviews Condor Deal

An objector to Consolidated Communications’ deal with Condor Holdings withdrew from the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission’s review in docket DT 23-103. New Hampshire Electric Cooperative said Monday that it entered into a confidential settlement with Consolidated “that addresses NHEC’s concerns with neither party admitting any fault or wrongdoing.” The co-op earlier complained that Consolidated didn’t devote enough resources to its joint-use poles relationship with NHEC. Charter Communications last month sought conditions on Consolidated’s transfer of indirect ownership and control of its local subsidiaries to Condor, a subsidiary of private equity firm Searchlight (see 2404290007).
