Thursday, April 14 @ 7 PM via Zoom

You’re invited to join the Fix the Grid Campaign for a Comment Party to submit comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) opposing recent changes that our regional grid operator, ISO-New England (ISO-NE), has proposed which would delay our State’s transition to clean energy by 2-years.

ISO-NE is attempting to delay removing a policy called the Minimum Offer Price Rule, or MOPR.  MPR favors fossil fuel projects in our energy market, making it very hard for big renewable energy projects to come online. Delaying the removal of MOPR would essentially block wind and solar until 2028. That’s why we need to use our people power and write to FERC to oppose this delay.

FERC is the governing body that has authority over ISO-NE. They have the ability to tell ISO-NE to get rid of MOPR now!

Join MCAN at the FERC Comment Party on Thursday, April 14th at 7 PM.  You can work with other advocates in crafting your comments to submit in opposition to the delay. The organizers will also provide information on exactly how to submit comments. RSVP here. 

Even if you can’t attend, you can still submit comments by using the Fix the Grid Campaign’s toolkit.  It includes detailed background on the issue, specific talking points, and instructions for submitting your comments.

The grid is an opaque, complex, and often confusing part of our energy system. However, the decisions that ISO-NE makes have an enormous impact on the Commonwealth’s ability to combat the climate crisis and transition to a clean energy future.
