Shares of power producers moved higher.<\/p>\n

Maui County filed a lawsuit Thursday against utility company Hawaiian Electric, alleging that its power lines caused recent wildfires on the island -including one that destroyed the town of Lahaina and killed at least 115 people.

Saudi Arabia is weighing a Chinese bid to build a nuclear-power plant in the kingdom, Saudi officials familiar with the matter said, in a move designed to pressure the Biden administration to compromise on its conditions for U.S. help in the kingdom’s quest for nuclear power.

The new deal would open a path to ending the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s six-year bankruptcy case and has divided bondholders that until recently were united in negotiations.<\/p>\n
