22-25 Financials

Provide all cost benefit analyses prepared or considered by Invenergy in selecting its most recent source of water in the Water Supply Plan submitted to the EFSB.

Invenergy’s cost benefit analyses are highly confidential and proprietary.  The Project is being privately financed without ratepayer funds and the power produced will be sold into the competitive ISO-NE market through a competitive bidding process.

The analysis performed was related to Invenergy’s desire to conserve as much water as possible and operate CREC in a more environmentally friendly manner.  There were a number of engineering uncertainties that arose regarding the initial design and proposed installation of the pipeline.  Once it was determined that Invenergy had the ability to reduce the amount of water for CREC, making the trucking option feasible, Invenergy decided to utilize the trucking option for its water source.
