Commissioner Richard Glick Statement

February 4, 2019

Docket No. ER19-570

We are disappointed that the Commission failed to act on Vineyard Wind LLC’s requests for a waiver and emergency motion in advance of ISO-New England’s forward capacity auction. We recognize that the Commission can move forward only when it has a majority of votes for a particular action. Nevertheless, by failing to act, the Commission has introduced significant uncertainty into this auction. All parties, including New England’s states, consumers, and auction participants, deserve better.
