Non-Wires Alternatives
In litigation spanning several years, Verrill represented Emera in a Maine PUC investigation into ratemaking mechanisms associated with non-wires alternatives for Maine's investor-owned transmission and distribution utilities. That proceeding grew out of a prior proceeding, in which we represented Emera, involving the issue of whether Maine should appoint a state wide Non-Transmission Alternatives Coordinator, and if so, whether the Coordinator would be a public utility. The NTA Coordinator proceeding arose from legislation related to the need for establishing a so-called “Smart Grid Coordinator” for the state of Maine.
