ISO New England Inc. is a regional transmission organization that oversees the operation of the electricity transmission system, coordinates wholesale electricity markets, and manages power system planning for the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and most of Maine.
ISO-NE rejected a request to conduct an independent analysis on whether renewable energy and carbon reduction policies are creating a need for transmission.
New England regulators expressed optimism that they will find a way for wholesale markets to coexist with state energy policies at NECPUC.
NESCOE said that only states should have the ability to identify public policy-driven transmission needs for evaluation by ISO-NE.
ISO-NE is working to adopt clustering methodology to speed the development of new capacity, particularly to help free wind power trapped in Maine.
New England will have only enough natural gas capacity to supply about half of its gas-fired generation in winters 2025 and 2030, according to NEPOOL.
ISO-NE's 2017 Capacity, Energy, Loads and Transmission Report shows a reduced load forecast from 2016 but predicts increased load for the Southeast area.
A substantial increase in new clean resources would lower Forward Capacity Auction prices, “crowding out” many existing resources, according to ISO-NE.
The Conservation Law Foundation asked ISO-NE to conduct a study to determine transmission needs driven by renewable energy and carbon reduction policies.
More than 250 participants attended the NECA and Connecticut Power and Energy Society’s 24th New England Energy Conference.
ISO-NE presented its proposal for a two-tiered capacity auction that would incorporate state-mandated renewable generation at the FERC technical conference.
