Statement by National Grid Ventures and Citizens Energy Regarding Massachusetts Clean Energy Request for Proposals Decision
January 25 2018 - 5:25PM
“We are disappointed that our projects were not selected in the
Massachusetts Clean Energy RFP but we firmly believe the Granite
State Power Link and the Northeast Renewable Link provide the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts a triple-win by delivering the
greatest emissions reductions at the lowest cost with minimal
environmental or community impact. We are proud of these
carefully-designed solutions, which meet the targets of this
historic procurement, while providing billions of dollars in
economic benefits to the Commonwealth and host communities. Our
partnerships with General Electric and Citizens Energy further our
commitment to bring broad economic opportunity to Massachusetts. We
continue to join with our fellow projects to encourage the
Evaluation Committee to provide full transparency into the
evaluation process and decision, to ensure public trust in this
historic decision. Moving forward, we are committed to advancing
projects in our renewable energy portfolio that achieve substantial
triple-win benefits for customers and communities.” -- John Flynn,
President & COO, U.S. Strategic Growth, National Grid Ventures.
“We will continue to help build important green energy
infrastructure and use our profits to serve the energy needs of
struggling senior citizens and low-income families,” said Citizens
Energy Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy II.
