I wonder if they had takers if the space was free? (Of course they would). It was the price of getting to do the development. Lowering the price (downsizing the space/tax credits) should require all engaged parties to open their books to prove it’s for viability not added profit.

We won’t hit any goals… affordability, or climate, so long business as usual is deemed acceptable (and highly profitable).

Why don’t you list me all the neighborhoods where 20% heat pump penetration would require new substations. There are few for sure! But we aren’t at 20%, we’re maybe at 2%.

The program is meant to address the riskiest pipes. The LDCs can do any work they want and seek recovery through a formal rate case. These might seem like minor details but it’s nearly $1b a year, locked in for 60 more. This is what regulation should look like.

A rate case is a legal proceeding.
