The highest court in Massachusetts is blocking electric utilities
from passing on to ratepayers the costs of building new natural gas
pipelines.
The Supreme Judicial Court in its unanimous decision on Wednesday
said state regulators made a mistake in approving the tariffs and
authorizing utilities to sign long-term contracts for natural gas
generating capacity.
The decision was cheered by environmental groups including the
Conservation Law Foundation, which filed suit to stop what it dubbed a
“pipeline tax” on consumers.
