Fwd: Massachusetts Comprehensive Energy Plan (CEP) - Stakeholder Written Comments - Due July 31st, 2018

[Rosemary Wessel]

Info on the Mass. Comprehensive Energy Plan (CEP) - comment period ends July 31. If you didn’t make it to one of the stakeholder meetings, they have provided a link to their presentation slides on the Synapse study on which the final CEP will be based.

Presentation Slides

The stakeholder meetings were held to get input on the study before the results are finalized. Though the good news is none of the scenarios set in the study show a need for new pipeline capacity (and show a decrease in fossil fuels overall), the scenarios - even the one termed “aggressive” - are somewhat tepid and all include an amorphous “other” category of “renewables" that includes burning of biomass and solid waste.
