The PUC has the confidential numbers, and has ruled that these numbers need to be made public, including disclosure to intevenors.

They have rejected a PSNH request for a re-hearing on the issue, so PSNH really has 3 choices:

- disclose the confidential material publicly
- appeal to the NH Suprreme Court
- withdraw the PPA and kill the project (I am NOT suggesting this will happen, but it is technically a PSNH option)

Below is a link to the PUC site docket 10-195 Public Service of New Hampshire Petition for Approval of Power Purchase Agreement between PSNH of NH and Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, LLC

Below is a link to the PUC Prehearing Conference Order, which states the initial denial for confidential treatment.

As to your question: go to page 10 for the Motion for Protective Order

“We, therefore, deny the motion for confidential treatment and direct PSNH to promptly provide the information at issue, except for the value of property to be protected by title insurance, to the interveners in this docket and to file an unredacted copy of the PPA as well as Mr. Labrecque’ s testimony and exhibits in the public record of this proceeding.”

I expect they will post the Order Denying Motion for Rehearing soon.
