EWEB should come clean with its rate payers, tell all the truth, the back story behind this slash and burn plan to eliminate conservation programs, staff, etc.

The truth is EWEB is losing more than$10 million a year on the SENECA biomass contract.  They are forced to sell that power on the open market for at least 50% less than they are paying for it.  This will continue into the next decade.

Why is this the case?  Well, the top guns know, but here's the basics- EWEB negotiated a contract with SENECA that was based on a speculative energy market.  And EWEB miscalculated the demand for biomass, on a gigantic scale.

SENECA won't renegotiate the contract, and are making a killing from it.  The losers are the rate payers whose services, programs, and rates are all negatively impacted because of it.

The managers at EWEB should tell the whole story and SENECA should be ashamed.
