Three AGs Submitted Comments to FERC on Grid Resilience
MAY 9, 2018
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan and Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin submitted comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on the resiliency of the power system in New England. The attorneys general urged FERC to not make recommendations nor draw conclusions related to the resiliency of the New England energy market based solely on ISO-NE’s analysis of the market because its study relied on faulty assumptions and analysis. In their comments, the attorneys general also reiterated their objection to requiring ratepayers to subsidize uneconomic energy sources based on exaggerated resiliency concerns.
