Fix the Grid is having our next big action: “ISO-NE Doesn’t Play Well With Others,” a rally for reform on the Boston Common!
We’ve spent a year working with researchers on a detailed report card evaluating every regional electric grid operator in the country on their governance practices. How well do they do on transparency, accessibility, and accountability? How well do they engage with and listen to the public, to the people who foot the bill for the entire system? The grades are in, and our region came in dead last.
What do these bad governance practices mean for us? A slow transition to clean energy. High electric bills through over-reliance on fossil fuels. Board meetings and decisions that happen behind closed doors. Absolutely no language access for impacted communities and more!
We can’t afford to have a grid operator that keeps failing to serve the public interest. That’s why we’re asking our state leaders to push for the renewable, affordable, and resilient electric grid we deserve.
Here’s what you can do:
- Join Fix the Grid at our upcoming rally on the Boston Common to demonstrate that the people want reforms; it’s past time for a passing grade on governance. After a rally on the Common near the statehouse, we’ll walk to 100 Cambridge St. to deliver the report card to state offices. Be sure to invite your friends to come along!
- Consider having your organization co-sponsor the rally. We would add your logo on the event materials in exchange for you committing to spread the word to your membership. If you’d like to co-sponsor, please email mireille@slingshot.org.
Please also note that we will have concurrent events in other state capitals! Contact the corresponding point person for each state if you’d like to join one of those:
