AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Water Safety Update: RIDOH and DEM lifted the high-risk harmful algae bloom advisory for Lake Mishnock in West Greenwich, but kept warnings in place for Wenscott Reservoir (North Providence) and Oak Swamp Reservoir (Johnston), urging people to avoid contact and not drink untreated water or eat fish until further notice. Clean Energy Stalled: Rhode Island’s $49M low-income solar expansion plan remains in limbo after EPA terminated the Solar for All program in 2025; litigation continues and the state’s plan never moved beyond early stages. Grid & Wind Buildout (Regional): Maine regulators approved an 800-MW onshore wind project and a 111-mile transmission line to bring power into the New England grid, with Rhode Island in the shared receiving region. Public Health & Climate Context: A new report highlights “climate hushing” in Democratic campaigns, while Rhode Island’s own climate-and-health impacts keep showing up in local advisories and policy fights. Local Weather: Sunday looks mostly sunny and warm (low 80s) with a small overnight shower chance.
