FERC denies Request for Stay of ROE refund requirement (refunds, with interest, for the period from Oct 16, 2014 to Mar 19, 2026 (the date of Opinion 594)). In denying the Request for Stay, the FERC found that “Indicated NETOs have failed to establish that the [FERC]’s order to pay refunds … meets the standard of irreparable harm required to justify a stay.” The FERC went on to say that, while it “need not reach whether granting a stay may substantially harm other parties or whether a stay is in the public interest, … we also find that neither of those factors would support a different outcome.” Because the FERC denied the Request for Stay, the refund deadline remains May 20, 2027.

State Consumer Advocates* file a complaint alleging that Eversource illegally categorized the X-178 transmission upgrade as an asset management project under section 3.08(f) of the TOA (rather than as a regional transmission project under section 2.06 of the TOA).

* State Consumer Advocates are the ME OPA, CT OCC, RI Division, NH OCA and VT DPS.
