Intervenors flag completeness and redaction timing; Eversource lays out redaction schedule
Summary
OCC and EOE told PURA they are concerned that key supporting exhibits (storm invoices and capital additions documentation) are not yet posted in redacted public form and that late posting could prejudice discovery and prefiled testimony; Eversource outlined a redaction timetable and said confidential materials were available to parties upon filing.
Several intervenors told PURA they cannot fully evaluate the company's filing until more supporting exhibits are available publicly in redacted form. Kim White of the Office of Consumer Counsel said the record currently lacks complete materials for parts of 2025 and that "we don't have the total actual cost of storms for 2025. They're they are not providing them." OCC and EOE suggested the missing or late-posted items could impair their ability to develop prefiled testimony on capital and storm costs.
Eversource responded that confidential materials were available to participants upon the July 14 filing in confidential form, that the company is producing public redacted versions on a rolling schedule and that it remains willing to provide earlier redacted copies of specific invoices on request. Attorney Vincent Pace described the motion number 9 redaction plan and progress: two categories already completed, storm invoices (CCT 2a) targeted to finish "in about 2 to 3 weeks" after corrections for over-redaction, and the most sensitive capital project documentation expecting completion by mid-September with a broader CLP edition 6 tranche targeted for October 1.
Why it matters: parties said they need time to review supporting transactional records to test prudence and prepare testimony; PURA must balance timely public access with protecting critical energy infrastructure information and legitimate confidentiality claims. The authority indicated it would consider these timing concerns in setting the procedural schedule.
