The Maine Office of the Public Advocate has asked FERC to initiate evidentiary hearing procedures to answer questions about the prudency of investments by New England transmission owners in asset condition projects placed in service in 2022.

A U.S. district court judge in Massachusetts granted NextEra Energy’s motion to dismiss claims the company violated federal and state antitrust laws in its efforts to block the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission project.

The forthcoming resignation of Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority Chair Marissa Gillett has created high-stakes questions around the state’s adoption of a comprehensive performance-based regulation framework.

Eight New England transmission companies must provide the Maine Office of Public Advocate with more information on asset condition projects placed in service in 2022, FERC has ruled.

The Maine PUC is seeking feedback and indications of interest for a procurement of generation and transmission capacity to connect at least 1,200 MW of clean energy in Northern Maine to ISO-NE.

Presenting to the ISO-NE Planning Advisory Committee, Eversource Energy introduced a new set of asset-condition projects that could cost the region billions over multiple decades.

Marissa Gillett, the top regulator at the Connecticut PURA, is poised to be reappointed amid utility lawsuits and outcry about the state’s regulatory environment.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities approved a settlement agreement for the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission line, authorizing a significant cost increase to account for regulatory delays to the project.

In an antitrust lawsuit filed in federal court, Avangrid accused NextEra Energy of conducting an “exclusionary and anticompetitive scheme” to stop a major transmission project connecting New England to Quebec.
