Expert opposes CWIP in Seabrook plant funding
An expert witness for New Hampshire ratepayers questions including construction works in progress in the rate base for the Seabrook nuclear plant. Ralph Miller argues CWIP inflates costs during inflationary times and would not prevent capital shortages if the rate hike is denied. Miller disputes the Public Service Co. and PUC expert, who say precharging is needed to secure funds, noting customers would fund unfinished plant costs. The case hinges on whether the $17 million segment of a $32 million request can justify preconstruction charging. Gov. Meldrim Thomson has blocked Miller's $5,000 portion of a $40,000 federal grant used to pay for the expert.
