Peer Review Report Shows BPU Ratepayer
Impact Study Flawed and Misleading


Affordable Energy for New Jersey released an official analysis of the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) misleading ‘Ratepayer Impact Study’ produced for the board by the Brattle Group. 

The independent Peer Review provided by Dr. Jonathan Lesser, Ph.D, found that the Brattle EMP report suffered from numerous flaws starting with its general methodology:

AENJ’s independent review goes on to point out other significant flaws in the Brattle report, including:

    1. EMP report ignores all direct consumer costs
    2. Only calculates ratepayer impact for one year
    3. Brattle report provides no actual data for fact checking or review
    4. Ignores all transmission and reserve charges
    5. Provides flawed cost comparison for Internal Combustion vs Electric Vehicle

The independent Peer Review provided by Dr. Jonathan Lesser, Ph.D, found that the Brattle EMP report suffered from numerous flaws starting with its general methodology.
