Con Ed to pay $153M to settle NYC explosion charges
NEW YORK — Consolidated Edison has agreed to pay $153 million to settle charges over a 2014 gas explosion in East Harlem that killed eight people and injured about 50.
The settlement was approved on Thursday by the state's Public Service Commission. The commission had found that Con Ed violated state safety regulations. A gas leak has been reported before the blast.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said it's the highest payment for a gas safety incident in New York State history.
