In my March 27th determination, I learned that ENE intended on providing a supplemental response. ENE provided a response on April 10, 2025. Unsatisfied with ENE’s response, Mr. Macone petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/1022, was opened as a result. In his appeal to this office, Mr. Macone narrowed his appeal and sought: Records and or Documents that would show what Energy New England (ENE) One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832 • Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
