Comments on EFSB 14-04/D.P.U. 14-153/14-154 December 19, 2019

The Honorable Kathleen A. Theoharides Chair, Energy Facilities Siting Board Secretary, Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Department of Public Utilities One South Station Boston, MA 02110 Re: EFSB 14-04/D.P.U. 14-153/14-154

Dear Chair Theoharides,

The Union of Concerned Scientists is a non-profit organization that puts rigorous, independent science to work to solve our planet’s most pressing problems. Joining with people across the country—including 21,000 supporters in Massachusetts—we combine technical analysis and effective advocacy to create innovative, practical solutions for a healthy, safe, and sustainable future.

I write you today concerning the proposal from Eversource to locate a high-voltage substation in East Boston. As we have detailed and publicized, the residents of East Boston already face a range of environmental justice issues, the community has genuine concerns about the project, and our own analysis of just one local clean energy option strongly suggests there are plausible alternatives that Eversource has not sufficiently considered, particularly given changes in technologies, costs, and needs.

Overall, Eversource has failed to provide up-to-date, transparent information justifying the need for a substation that will cost ratepayers close to $50 million. Additionally, its proposed site in East Boston floods presently and will be at risk of chronic inundation by 2100 due to sea level rise.

I attach here a letter from my colleague Juan Ramos, an East Boston resident, and signed by 660 residents and allies, in opposition to the current substation proposal from Eversource. We write in support of the request for the EFSB to not approve the substation proposal from Eversource to locate a risky high-voltage substation in a densely populated neighborhood in East Boston until and unless the EFSB: has received adequate and appropriate levels of input from the people of East Boston; bases its decision on up-to-date, transparent, and sufficient data; prioritizes climate-resilient energy infrastructure; and receives from Eversource a benefit-cost analysis proving this substation is the most cost-competitive option.

Massachusetts should be investing in electrical infrastructure that will move us toward a modern grid that includes renewable energy, so we can continue to turn from the challenge of the climate crisis to the promise of a clean energy economy.

Comments of the Union of Concerned Scientists 2

We appreciate your strong attention to the concerns of the community and about the project.

Sincerely,

Paula García Energy Analyst, Climate and Energy Program Union of Concerned Scientists pgarcia@ucsusa.org 617.301.8013

Comments of the Union of Concerned Scientists 3

An open letter to the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board:

We are proud residents and allies, of East Boston. Some of us were born and raised here. Others of us chose

to live here because it’s affordable and accessible to public transportation, and we appreciate the diversity

of people and backgrounds. Whether we were born and raised here, or took a while to come to this

community, we are all fortunate to call East Boston home.

Like many residents, we were shocked to learn about Eversource’s proposal to locate a high-voltage

electrical substation right in our neighborhood. The substation is proposed to be built about a football field

(around 110 meters) away from an 8 million-gallon holding tank of jet fuel, and right across the street from

a playground where kids play year-round, in a densely populated neighborhood.

Power substations can be a serious fire hazard: They can catch fire because of hot weather, lightning, human

error, human tampering, and even—as has happened twice within the past two months—because small

animals have gotten into the wiring. Flooding is another fire risk for substations, and Eversource’s proposed

site is projected to flood regularly over the decades ahead as seas rise.

Essentially, if this substation is built, our community will live in constant fear of fire: of the smallest, most

random, and least predictable accident igniting 8 million gallons of jet fuel and incinerating our homes. We

are fearful for our safety, and for the financial health of the investment we have made in our neighborhood.

As you know, projects like this substation can’t go forward without approval from you, the Massachusetts

Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB), and the decision now rests with you.

In partnership with local environmental justice organization GreenRoots, the Union of Concerned Scientists

(UCS) has issued a recommendation that the EFSB should not make a decision on the substation until and

unless Eversource provides:

• Clear, transparent, and sufficient up-to-date data supporting its necessity;

• A cost-benefit analysis of clean energy alternatives proving this substation is the most cost-competitive option;

• An infrastructure plan that shows the substation will be prepared to withstand the worse-case scenarios of sea level rise; and

• Proof that our community in East Boston was properly consulted and our concerns properly addressed.

None of this has happened so far.

Residents of Eagle Hill whose quality of life and property value would suffer from having a power substation

sited in our neighborhood deserve at minimum that the EFSB consider the many safer alternatives to

meeting the energy needs of our region. UCS has laid out a clean-energy alternative that is forward-looking

and would cost millions of dollars less than the proposed substation.

There is no need to burden our community with the risks of yesterday’s energy generation technology and

yesterday’s energy planning approaches. Please hold Eversource accountable to us.
