New England Energy Coalition Press Conference

Coalition To Hold Virtual Press Conference Rebuttal Immediately Following Regional Leader Conference

As the 45th Annual New England and Eastern Canadian Premiers (NEG-ECP) conference commences in Boston this week, and a coalition of taxpayer watchdog non-profit organizations from across New England is urging the Governors to address taxpayer concerns regarding energy affordability and the real impacts of the renewable energy transition on the economy.

The New England Energy Coalition (NEEC) consists of the following groups: Americans for Prosperity, Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, Rhode Island Center for Freedom & Prosperity, Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, Maine Policy Institute, Yankee Institute, and Wind Action of New Hampshire.

The NEG-ECP Conference announced it will specifically focus on energy and the renewable energy transition, including offshore wind and decarbonization at this year’s closed-door summit, and will hold a press conference on Tuesday, September 10 to address the media.

Immediately following the Governors’ press conference on September 10, NEEC will host a virtual press conference at 2:30pm ET to lay out the ways in which renewable policies are harming New Englanders by decreasing reliability and increasing prices.
