Timeline and other Reading.

From 8-27-07 PR
"Laidlaw expects to close on the balance of the financing for the Berlin project, including monetization of Federal Renewable Energy Production Tax Credits and long term debt financing, immediately after receiving approval for the project from the Siting Evaluation Committee. Laidlaw hopes to receive such approval in the second half of 2008, which would put the project on target for commencement of operations in 2009. Laidlaw has engaged Greystone to arrange this financing."

From NH Energy Siting Process
4.9"In an effort to address the siting challenges that currently exist on a multi-state and regional level, the National Governors’ Association (NGA) has proposed that Governors form a Multi-State Entities (MSE)committee to coordinate transmission planning, certification and siting at the regional level. An MSE
would be established by a memorandum of understanding, and governed by established by-laws. The proposed MSE would not overrule state authority, nor would it advocate federal preemption of state siting authority. However, it would ensure that regional and state needs are addressed in transmission planning, rather than leave all planning to regional transmission organizations (RTOs).

Critical reading of the Siting Process will that reveal the protocol can take NO LONGER than 9 months to complete. When did this officially start?
