MCAT was part of a group of interested parties, known as the Climate Advocates, that formally intervened in the Oregon Public Utility Commission Docket regarding the Northwest Natural Gas Company’s 2022 Integrated Resource Plan. Under the leadership of the Green Energy Institute at Lewis & Clark Law School, the Climate Advocates also included Climate Solutions, Columbia Riverkeeper, Community Energy Project, Electrify Now, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Sierra Club. In addition, MCAT, represented by Dr Pat DeLaquil, prepare comments and testimony throughout the process, emphasizing that the Company’s long-term plan for compliance with the Climate Protection Plan did not represent a least-cost, least-risk strategy, and that the plan did not represent reasonable balance of future risks and incentives between the company and ratepayers.
