Solution must meet
today’s priorities
• Minimize environmental disturbance
– Avoid construction through Cape Cod
National Seashore
• Reduce GHG Emissions
– Support existing and future solar
installations
– Peak load reduction → decreased need for
upstream peaking generators
• Maintain/improve aesthetics
– Brown-field improvement
– Maintain ‘picturesque’ peninsula view
How a solution for reliability
was thoughtfully
approached to maximize
environmental benefits

Today’s priorities:
continued
• Reliability
– Mitigate peak loads and flatten “duck
curve”
• Resiliency
– Provide backup power during grid
interruption
• Grid modernization
– ‘Microgrid-ready’
• Job growth
– Emerging environmental and energy
sector
The duck curve shows
steep ramping needs and
overgeneration risk
