Summary:Hydro executives planned to spend the night poring over the commission's 88-page ruling and decide what to do next. "We respect the decision of the regulator, and we will be going through the decision to determine if there is any recourse," said Hydro spokeswoman Elisha Moreno. "This is a regulatory decision. There's really not much we can say about it right now." The panel recalled that a senior Hydro executive in testimony during the Duke Point hearing asserted that Hydro felt no further investigation of alternatives was necessary and that it was time to get on with the job. In rejecting that claim it encouraged Hydro to issue a call for tenders to seek alternative projects from the private sector. NorskeCanada has already indicated an interest in bidding for a contract to sell electricity to Hydro.
