Commissioner Judith Judson
Department of Energy Resources
100 Cambridge St Suite 1020
Boston, MA 02114
Dear Commissioner Judson:
I am writing to object strenuously to the
Baker administration's proposal to change the definition of Class 1 renewable
energy utilities and to
shorten the effective period of SRECs. The changes will increase subsidies and
incentives for polluting biomass energy in all three of Massachusetts’ major
clean energy programs: the Renewable Portfolio Standard, the Alternative
Portfolio Standard, and the proposed Clean Peak Standard by:
These changes will create additional incentives for
power generation that increases greenhouse gases (GHGs), particulate pollution,
and toxic air quality.
Sincerely,
Ellen K. Rothman
