Illinois and New York state officials filed briefs citing a recent 2nd Circuit decision in defense of their zero-emission credits for nuclear plants.

Connecticut has selected 25 small scale renewables projects totaling 402 MW to negotiate PPAs with the state’s two electric distribution companies.

A federal appeals court has halted the award of clean energy contracts sought by three New England states while it considers an appeal filed by Allco.

FERC said it would not take up Allco's complaint about Connecticut's procurement practices.

Connecticut officials told FERC that Allco Renewable Energy’s complaint is without merit because it is challenging a procurement program created by state law that is different from PURPA.

Allco Renewable Energy alleges Connecticut agencies violated PURPA by awarding a contract to a 250-MW wind farm in Maine.
