EFSB Order

The Energy Facility Siting Board met in open meeting on Tuesday, December 12, 2017. After discussion, the Board order a show cause hearing. In part, the order states:

In light of the lack of information regarding the Supplemental Water Supply Plan and the uncertainty of the affect of the FERC complaint, the Board ordered Invenergy to appear before it to show cause as to: (1) whether the Supplemental Water Supply Plan with the NIT, as submitted, contains sufficient detail for the Board to evaluate and/or whether the Supplemental Water Supply Plan should be dismissed from the pending application, and (2) whether the application, as submitted, under Board Rules 1.5 and 1.6 would be sufficiently changed as to the cost impact on ratepayers so as to require suspension during the pendency of the actions before FERC.

Copy of the order is attached.

At the request of Invenegy, the Show Cause hearing was rescheduled.

The Energy Facility Siting Board (Board) will conduct a Show Cause Hearing in the Invenergy / Clear River Energy Center docket on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 beginning at 9:30 AM, in Hearing Room A of the Public Utilities Commission office building, 89 Jefferson Boulevard, Warwick, Rhode Island. The hearing may continue thereafter from day to day and from time to time as required. At the hearing, the Board may vote on a Suspension Order pursuant to Rule 1.15(a)(3).
