2008 Integrated Resource Plan for Connecticut
Published by The Brattle Group, Inc.
This report is submitted pursuant to Section 51 of PA 07-242, which requires that electric distribution companies submit a comprehensive resource plan to the Connecticut Energy Advisory Board (CEAB). The creation of this report entailed a collaborative effort by The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P), The United Illuminating Company (UI) (together, “the Companies”) and The Brattle Group, an independent economic consulting firm. The Brattle Group conducted a regional electricity market analysis that examined how well selected resource options fared in meeting the performance criteria outlined in PA 07-242 and the CEAB Preferential Criteria for Evaluation of Energy Projects under a broad range of potential future scenarios. The results of that analysis underlie the findings and recommendations outlined below.
