AUGUST 24, 2023

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell filed post-forum comments following the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) New England Winter Gas-Electric Forum in 2023, which was convened “to discuss solutions to the electric and gas challenges facing the New England region. In her comments AG Campbell called for rigorous analysis of and proposed solutions for winter risk in the region. She also expressed the importance of closing the “information gap regarding interdependencies between the gas and electric systems.” Lastly, she called on FERC to continue to hold forums of these nature, since they “provide a unique opportunity to gather a diverse group of stakeholders, traverse the jurisdictional boundaries implicated by the region’s winter reliability issues, and bring important conversations into the public sphere.”
