From beginning to end, published accounts raise more questions than they answer.
NYRI suspends their process because FERC wouldn't overturn a NYISO procedure? Actually I'm privately shocked ---I always figured FERC and NYISO had been highly lobby-lubricated---and why would NYRI blame the very agencies that would have allowed them to build their project???? Their usual blame went to all of us potentially impacted by the project (we were just NIMBYism people). The whole thing makes no sense.
I looked and looked at the NYISO site for this supposed procedure but couldn't find it. But thanks to Googling (their search engine is remarkably efficient) I finally found details here: http://www.dps.state.ny.us/06-T-0650_NYRI_Testimony_NYISO.html -------NYISO CARIS process
Benefits must outweigh costs (10-year planning horizon). 80% of the beneficiaries must then vote for the project. Costs would be borne by the beneficiaries (I'm assuming CONED and LIPA).
Why would NYRI spend millions of money on a project without first getting the support of the very entities that would be served by their "product----i.e. electricity to downstate"? This also makes no sense.
