Client: Town of Weymouth

Author: Liz Stanton, PhD

February 2020

On behalf of the Town of Weymouth, Clinic Director and Senior Economist Liz Stanton, PhD provided Applied Economics Clinic expert testimony to Docket 19-132 before the Massachusetts' Department of Public Utilities. In her testimony, Dr. Stanton examined whether National Grid's proposed Atlantic Bridge Agreement meets the following criteria: (1) the public need for this capacity based on forecasted demand and available alternatives, (2) the public need for this capacity based on price, and (3) consideration of evidence relevant to the Global Warming Solutions Act ("GWSA"). Dr. Stanton concluded that National Grid failed to prove the necessity, cost-effectiveness, and GWSA compliance of the proposed Atlantic Bridge Agreement.
