Re: RPS Class I and RPS Class II Rulemaking - 225 CMR 14.00 and 225 CMR 15.00 - Joint Stakeholder Comments

Dear Mr. Wassam:

I wish to make comments regarding the proposed changes to Massachusetts’ Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”) Class I and RPS Class II Regulations. It is my understanding that the changes proposed to the RPS would weaken this important state energy standard.

DOER’s proposals for substantially weakening biomass eligibility requirements and increasing subsidies for garbage incineration does not move us to the requirements of the Global Warming Solutions Act (“GWSA”). Adding burning matter to our already challenged air is a mistake, harming health in the short run and not satisfying the GWSA that our state mandates.

Lynn Nadeau
