NextEra to retire Iowa nuclear plant in 2020; Massachusetts utilities sign contracts to import Canadian hydropower ; Climate, project need at center of FERC pipeline policy review; Colorado regulators press forward with Black Hills TOU pilot
Utility Alliant will pay the nuclear operator $110 million and buy 340 MW of power from existing NextEra wind projects in exchange for ending its power purchase agreement with the plant early.
The Clean Energy Connect project, which will deliver the power, is generating controversy in Maine, where regulators say it should fund efficiency programs.
Regulators should more seriously consider climate change and alter their approach for assessing market need when considering projects, environmentalists and liberal states said in the agency's pipeline review proceeding.
This agreement ends a six-year controversy following a deal that the largest owner of the plant, Southern California Edison, struck in a private arrangement with state regulators.
Energy Innovation's Mike O'Boyle says utility ratemaking lags behind the technological potential for a cleaner, cheaper, more reliable grid as regulators have insufficient information to compare utility proposals against alternatives.
