It was good to see everyone at the dam meeting. Can we schedule a call regarding next steps for this week?
The 90 day comment period is underway, and I want to ensure that we engage counsel, the congressional delegation, other necessary stakeholders timely.
How is Tuesday morning or Wednesday afternoon?
Thanks Renee

I am attaching an updated memo as well as a discussion thread document that follows the questions and responses the AI research uncovered. I think these will be helpful in our discussions with counsel, etc.
I think our concerns about how Brookfield will handle the surplus powerhouse property are very well-founded, and a clear solution is a little elusive. That said, there are ideas and somewhat related paths and precedents.
Again, I note that AI was the primary source of research.

With help from AI (so I have not independently corroborated the cases) I researched Brookfield Renewable sales of energy assets over the past decade, and searched for information on abandoned/orphaned assets. The attached memo describes the US sales, highlighting the hydro energy sales. It also delves into the risks associated with Brookfield's retention of the powerhouse and some examples of similar situations. It also has a couple of ideas of how to handle.
I think this could be helpful for next steps with the Hollis attorney, and to begin briefing the congressional delegation and state legislators.
Interested in your thoughts and places you would like to see developed.
