Counsel II - Boston, United States - State of Massachusetts
Description
The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is responsible for regulatory oversight of investor-owned electric, natural gas, and water utilities in the Commonwealth.
In coordination with the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB), the DPU and the EFSB jointly oversee the siting of major energy facilities in the Commonwealth to ensure a reliable supply of energy, with a minimum impact on the environment, at the lowest possible cost.
The Siting Division of the DPU supports the review and adjudication of energy facility proposals requiring EFSB/DPU regulatory approvals by conducting comprehensive environmental, technical, economic, and legal reviews, consistent with applicable statutes, regulations and precedent.
The Siting Division also participates in siting proceedings conducted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for interstate natural gas pipelines that are relevant to Massachusetts.
The work of the Siting Division takes place in a rapidly evolving energy landscape, with significant technological, regulatory, and market changes, and a growing emphasis on both mitigating and adapting to climate change, while maintaining reliable, safe, and cost-effective energy supplies vital to the Massachusetts economy.
The Siting Division reviews proposed major energy facilities such as electric generation facilities, electric transmission lines and substations, natural gas pipelines and related equipment, and large fuel storage facilities.
These reviews include an evaluation of need for the project, alternative project options (such as energy efficiency and distributed generation), environmental impacts and potential mitigation measures, costs, and consistency with state energy/environmental policies, statutes, and regulations.
Depending on the project, regulatory authority exercised by the EFSB/DPU may include approval to construct, exemptions from local zoning ordinances, issuance of other state and local permits, advisory rulings and determinations, and post-approval compliance oversight.
