The U.S. Department of Energy has finally allowed the public comments on its Transmission Facilitation Program to be available to the public.
After DOE stated that it wasn't sure about making them public, you responded by filing comments asking for the comments to be publicly accessible.
And here they are. Click on the "Browse All Comments" tab.
Just imagine what would have happened without your participation?
Now just because the comments are public doesn't mean they're easily accessible. The regulations dot gov website is a hot mess. It's not like you can just go down the list and download the comments... for some reason their order gets scrambled every time you download one. It wasn't easy, but I managed to devise a way to download them all.
Haven't had time to read them yet though... except for one that I simply couldn't resist peeking at after downloading. Invenergy seems pretty eager to get to the head of the chow line doling out capacity contracts. Invenergy says it needs an iron clad 25 year contract that DOE cannot weasel out of in order to get projects financed, but it doesn't mention any projects by name. And a bunch of other weasely stuff that I will write more about later.
What merchant transmission lines that need capacity contracts might Invenergy be talking about?
Please share any good comment finds you make in the comments.
