Mitigation: 4-42

What, if any, community based programs has the company instituted regarding energy use/consumption/incentives to mitigate local impacts?

Invenergy is an Electric Wholesale Generator (“EWG”) and the sale of the project’s electricity is governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). Invenergy is prohibited from selling power on a retail basis to consumers and cannot participate in retail or consumer level programs as suggested in the question. Due to the project’s very high efficiency, power can be produced at a lower cost than any other plant in New England.
