On October 16, 2014 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) issued Opinion No. 531-A in Docket EL11-66-001 which established returns on equity (“ROE”) applicable for the local and regional transmission services provided by the New England Transmission Owners (“NETOs”) for the refund period of October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012, and the going-forward period from October 16, 2014. Opinion No. 531-A directed the NETOs to submit revised rates thirty (30) days from the date of Opinion 531-A.
