TMIA testimony at the DEP Citizens Advisory Council
Folks:
This was a marathon three hour meeting. Patty
and I spoke at the end of the meeting.
We were not well received, and the Secretary of DEP
did not accept our testimony when I offered her a copy.
She was not present when we spoke. Patty was able to
talk to her outside of the meeting. The CAC does not
entertain questions from the public were entertained
during the meeting. They do limit public comment
To five minutes.
The Council is chaired by Bob Barkanic, a former
employee of TMI and PPL, and former DEP Secretary.
It’s hard to gauge the “room”, since most folks were
Remote. There were several questions data centers
supplied by “clean energy.,”, and no questions for
TMI.
TMI-2 Solutions presentation was generic, and one
of the presenters actually left the meeting. The PUC
was another story.
The vice-chairwoman of the PA PUC spoke,
and gushed over TMI telling the panel it was a win,
win for everyone. “I was really happy to see the deal…
I love to see it.. It does take some stress out of our
system." [It does nothing to alleviate the stress,
nd the PUC has to weigh in on the Constellation
merger with Calpine.
The SRBC appears to be a more difficult venue.
TMIA will file testimony at the end of the month
on the Susquehanna plant. Constellation has not
filed, but the Governor is inactively supporting
both cases at FERC and at PJM.
Best,
Eric
