The report showed an CL&P over-recovery, after interest, of $173,347. If accepted, the PBOP figures will be used as the basis for refunds in the Eversource TOs’ 2025 Annual Updates.

UI Rate Incentives for Fairfield to Congress 115kV Railroad Project

UI requests approval for a Construction Work in Progress (“CWIP”) Incentive and a Abandoned Plant Incentive in connection with its Fairfield to Congress 115kV Railroad Project, eff. Dec 21, 2024.  The Project is a transmission line rebuild project in Fairfield, CT and Bridgeport, CT that includes the relocation of transmission lines from 7.3 miles of the existing Connecticut Department of Transportation’s Metro-North Railroad corridor and a rebuild of a 115-kV transmission line along 0.23 miles of existing UI right-of-way to allow interconnection of the rebuilt
facilities with UI’s existing Ash Creek, Resco, Pequonnock, and Congress Street substations.  The Project was identified in the March 2023 RSP Asset Condition List as PTF that must be rebuilt or modified due to its condition, age, or physical deterioration to comply with National Electrical Safety Code standards.  The Project revenue requirement will be charged to RNS pursuant to Schedule 9 of the ISO-NE Tariff.

Order 904

Finding that allowing transmission providers to charge transmission customers for a generating facility’s provision of reactive power within the standard power factor range is unjust and unreasonable, the FERC is revising Schedule 2 of its pro forma open-access transmission tariff (OATT), section 9.6.3 of its pro forma large generator interconnection agreement (LGIA), and section 1.8.2 of its pro forma small generator interconnection agreement (SGIA) to prohibit the inclusion in transmission rates of any charges related to the provision of reactive power within the standard power factor range by generating facilities.
