Adams may have said he's following McDowell on this, but the caucus shortened the leash on him when he was prevented from using the report as the vehicle to kill the Bluewater deal. From what I am hearing, the caucus is very much in play on this.<BR/><BR/>Tomahawk, you are exactly right about the transmission lines and congestion in the PJM territory. This is a good example of the kind of detail that would require PSC review, and has not been forthcoming from Delmarva.TommyWonkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05304960210838414244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-13819877207321865592008-05-27T14:02:27.052-04:002008-05-27T14:02:27.052-04:00From articles that have appeared in the NJ, it would appear that the PJM transmission lines into Del. are running at or near capacity. Until additional line capacity is permitted and constructed, Delmarva can't guarantee that their contracted power from on-shore sources can be delivered to Delaware customers. Blue Water will use local transmission lines and avoid the power limitations on the inter-state transmission lines during high demand hours.TomaHawknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210638.post-30412627152052729442008-05-27T13:48:03.652-04:002008-05-27T13:48:03.652-04:00Tom, the only way I see to prevail for off shore wind is to get the Senate to invoke Rule 16, which as you know requires the vote of a simple majority (11) to bring HCR 38 to the floor for a vote. I say this, because Senator Adams told me personally in his office that he has delegated the issue to Senator McDowell, so you know what outcome that is guaranteed to produce. Therefore, our focus needs to be on the Senators to line up 11 votes to invoke Rule 16. <BR/><BR/>Perry HoodPerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15924539891790915430noreply@blogger.com
