ISO-NE is decreasing its peak load projections slightly for the next 10 years due to slower-than-expected EV adoption, managed charging programs and changes to its modeling of partial building electrification.

ISO-NE provided more detail in response to stakeholder questions about how the RTO plans to model oil and gas resources as a part of its Resource Capacity Accreditation project.

ISO-NE presented the final stage of its Operational Impact of Extreme Weather Events study to stakeholders at the NEPOOL Reliability Committee on Nov. 14.

ISO-NE anticipates little risk of energy shortfall in the summer of 2032.

The summer 2027 results from the ISO-NE and EPRI joint study on extreme weather impacts on grid reliability found no risk of energy shortfall with or without the Everett LNG import terminal.

Study looks at severe weather scenarios based on historical data going back to 1950, finds manageable risks of supply shortfall.

The NEPOOL Reliability Committee approved the Bay State Wind project’s request to increase its capacity by 40 MW, reflecting a move to larger turbines.

ISO-NE will propose tariff changes as a result of “lessons learned” from its first competitive transmission solicitation under Order 1000 last year.
