Brayton Point Financial Analysis

New England State Consumer Advocates
Project completed May 2014.

On behalf of the New Hampshire Office of Consumer Advocate, the Maine Office of the Public Advocate, and the Connecticut Office of Consumer Counsel, Synapse analyzed the expected financial position of the three coal units at the Brayton Point station.  The goal was to determine an expected price at which the station would be willing to participate in the 8th Forward Capacity Auction, which had occurred six weeks earlier, and from which the station chose to retire. Synapse also assisted the clients with a comment filing submitted to the FERC to accompany the financial analysis.
