NEEWS Request for Comments
The CEAB must issue Request For Proposals to solicit alternative energy solutions for certain Connecticut energy solutions. ISO-NE's Regional System Plan 2006-2007 identifies a need for a major 345kV transmission project known as the New England East-West Solution (NEEWS), an interstate Reliability Project including parts of Connecticut. Therefore on July 6, 2007 CEAB issued a Request for Comments (RFC) on the need or desirability of a CEAB RFP process associated with the need identified by ISO-NE. The extended deadline for comments from interested parties was August 3, 2007. The RFC and comments received can be accessed at the links below. On September 4, 2007, representatives of CEAB met with company representatives of the utilities that submitted comments for clarification of matters raised. As follow up to that session, further clarification was requested in writing. The query and responses can be accessed through the following links:
