Block Island Power Company shareholder Sara McGinnes and her husband Cliff, the former co-owner of BIPCo, have filed a motion for preliminary injunction that seeks to rescind the sale of two-thirds of BIPCo stock to the Town of New Shoreham, while also expanding the number of people the McGinneses are suing.
The motion was filed in Washington County Superior Court on Friday, Dec. 23.
The first lawsuit that was filed in November named the Town of New Shoreham and former BIPCo shareholders Albert Casazza and John Pezzimenti as defendants. The new lawsuit now names former Town Manager Nancy Dodge, Electric Utilities Task Group members Barbara MacMullan, Bill Penn and Everett Shorey, and Kevin Hoyt, Second Warden Norris Pike and Jack Savoie. All of the newly named defendants are, as the suit identifies them, newly-appointed members of the Block Island Power Company Board of Directors.

Portion of transmission cable needs to be reburied

Although the interconnection between the National Grid and Block Island substations is expected to be completed by April 1, there is a problem with the cable that will need to be addressed sooner than that. Recent surveying of the cable revealed that some of it is not buried at the required depth of six feet below the surface of the ocean floor.

In some areas, concrete pads have been placed over sections of cable to protect it, but that has not been deemed feasible for the section just offshore of Fred Benson Town Beach. Starting 200 feet from shore, the next 80 feet of cable are currently only three feet below the ocean, and will need to be reburied.

Block Island Power Company Transition Team member, Second Warden Norris Pike, informed his fellow Transition Team members, at their meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 10, that National Grid hoped to do the necessary work during February and March, but that an “assent” to do the work is needed by the Coastal Resources Management Council.

Given the time frame, Pike said: “I think it’s going to be May” when the work is completed.
