Déjà vu all over again. Another manufacturer has lied about its emission and tried to conceal and it’s not Volkswagen.
A first-ever criminal charges brought by the Federal Energy Regularity Commission (FERC) against Berkshire Power.
Berkshire Power operates power plants and manufacturers electricity. In the course of their operation, they have to file with FERC emission data. They knowingly submitted information they knew to be false in order to gain more favorable dispatch (electric production).
FERC alerted the Environmental Protection Agency and state authorities to tipping them off these power plant emission’s looked wrong.
Knowingly submitting false emission data violated the Clean Act Air. Due to their reported “lower emissions” these power plants were dispatch more often which violated the
Federal Power Act (FPA). Essentially the FPA ensure fair trade which relies on accurate data.
