House Considers Rate Cap On PSNH Mercury Scrubber

By David Darman on Thursday, March 5, 2009.

A bill that would cap what ratepayers pay for a mercury scrubber at PSNH’s Bow power plant got a hearing at the Statehouse Thursday.

Proponents told the House Science and Technology Committee that imposing the limit would help keep rates down.

But critics of the measure said taking this step would cost ratepayers more in the long run, and jeopardize jobs that the project would provide.

NHPR’s David Darman has more.
