I think the PUC already knows that existing infrastructure on this site should have lowered the cost of electricity significantly yet the PPA is calling for significantly higher costs for some strange reason. Couple this with the rumor that the capital cost is 300 million and therefore some 70 million is being given back by the government to pay down debt, they should be able to sell power for significantly less. I think Digi is right. One hell of a lot of room for negotiation on this bad boy. Maybe additionally throw in some PPAs for all the other IPPS, take the right of first refusal to PSNH out of the equation, and then maybe, just maybe we can wipe out the word "monopoly". I think its important for someone to bring this logic forward to the PUC on behalf of the ratepayer, don't you Matt? Woodburner, are you interested, or should I?
