Clayton D McKay 35 Bruce Tibbetts Drive	2/10/2026	Is ISO-NE really technology-neutral as they proclaim they are? Building a transmission line solely to entertain a wind project in an area that is not even in the ISO-NE service area does not seem to meet the technology-neutral definition. Quite the contrary, this is outright favoritism and an abrupt turnabout for a grid operator that touts itself as competition protector. It appears more of a complete surrender to NESCOE ( New England States Committee on Electricity), an agency that describes itself as " A Board of Directors representing the six New England states directs NESCOE's affairs and engagement in regional issues. Each Governor appoints the state's NESCOE Manager. Regardless of the number of individuals each Governor appoints as a NESCOE Manager, each state has one undivided vote in arriving at NESCOE determinations" Governor appointments! One person appointing an individual to advance partisan policies. Who did Governor Mills appoint to "engage in regional issues"? as NESCOE Manager, Philip L. Bartlett II, a Democrat who was appointed to the Maine Public Utilities Commission in June 2019 by Governor Janet Mills. Prior to his appointment, he practiced law with Stacia, Bartlett & Chabot. He also served in the Maine Senate from 2004 to 2012 and was elected by his peers to serve as Senate Majority Leader from 2008 to 2010. Bartlett chaired the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee as well as the Joint Select Committee on Maine's Energy Future The New England grid is not being run by an Independent System Operator. There is nothing Independent about a so-called technology-neutral agency that bows to another agency that has no intention to be technology-neutral. This is about as corrupt as the government gets.
Clayton D McKay 35 Bruce Tibbetts Drive Dixfield Maine Email ID: mckaydan2@gmail.com	2/9/2026	$2billon dollars worth of wind plants and transmission will not improve reliability in either ISO-NE or Maine. Reliability is the cornerstone mission of ISO-NE. The fact that they bowed to NESCOE to Request Bids to raise the transfer limits at the NH/ME border for 1200 megawatts of wind ( actual annual part-time production around 400 megawatts) is counter to their own mission. Not to mention most of all the Power Purchase Agreements the PUC has provided to wind projects are costing Maine ratepayers on their bills. Why isn't New Hampshire mentioned in the coordination effort? When will the public have opportunity to express their views about the lack of reliability this project presents and the required additional costs to overcome this lack of reliability. You can either advocate for ratepayers by rejecting all bids or bow to the partison legislature and blow up Maine electric bills.
