Official Text
To the Honorable Board:
NSTAR Electric is aware of the City of Somerville's Union Square redevelopment plans and the City's recent Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify a project developer/partner for the Union Square Project. NSTAR Stations and Transmission Engineering have developed a plan to meet the power requirements of the proposed 2.3M s.f. of new development around the new MBTA Union Square Green Line Station, expected to be operational in 2017. Mayor Curtatone has initiated discussions with NSTAR to consider other options to meet the electric requirements of this new development and NSTAR recently conducted a preliminary engineering analysis to consider options. We expect to meet with Mayor Curtatone shortly to review the findings and finalize the plan. I will keep you updated on the progress and we are happy to share the final plan with the Board of Aldermen once completed. Please contact me if you have any questions.
