Supreme Court of Rhode Island

In re Narragansett Electric Company d/b/a National Grid E-183 115 kV Transmission Line Relocation Project

June 17, 2022

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Energy Facility Siting Board’s January 17, 2018 order, holding that Friends of India Point Park and the R.I. Seafood Festival lacked standing while the Hilton Garden Inn had standing, that the petition for review of the 2018 order was timely, and that despite the board’s failure to make required factual findings, the order was upheld because a remand would be fruitless.
