Wild Meadows and NH Energy Policy Updates

Iberdrola withdrew their Wild Meadows Wind project application in early June, and the Groton project on Jewell Hill has apparently withdrawn, while EDP's Spruce Ridge project targeting the northern shoulder of Mt. Cardigan is still in play. Recently, the NLRA LAnd Management Committee met with NH Wind Watch and the newly-renamed Newfound / Mt. Cardigan Legal Fund to discuss a partnership to protect the waterhsed using our combined efforts and strategies. 

 

Meanwhile, the State's draft energy policy has been released for public comment, due by July 25. The NLRA is investing time and effort into this process as well as the NHSEC rules revisions, to better balance our energy demand with a high-quality environment.
