The department of public utilities shall, within 120 days after the effective date of this act, complete a cost analysis report evaluating all technically-feasible supply and demand proposals capable of ensuring electricity reliability on Cape Cod. The analysis shall include proposals which will reduce or eliminate existing uplift charges imposed upon ratepayers in the Southeastern Massachusetts Reliability Region as defined by ISO New England Inc. The report shall include, but not be limited to, a cost comparison of any technically-feasible proposal including transmission improvements, demand-side management programs, the health and environmental impacts of energy alternatives, repowering of existing power generation units in the Southeastern Massachusetts Reliability Region or the development of new peaking generation facilities.
