ISO-NE has significantly lowered its peak load and net energy expectations in its final 2025 10-year load forecast but still predicts the region’s peak load to grow by over 2 GW by 2034.

ISO-NE plans to cut its winter peak load projection for 2033 by 7.2% and its summer peak projection by 1.8%, ISO-NE told the NEPOOL Reliability Committee.

ISO-NE expects to have adequate resources to meet its projected 24,553-MW peak load this summer, the RTO announced as part of its summer outlook.

ISO-NE is predicting that New England’s peak load will increase by about 10%, and electricity consumption by 17%, by 2033, according to its 2024 Capacity, Energy, Loads and Transmission report.

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 anticipates little risk of energy shortfall in the summer of 2032.

ERCOT and the Texas PUC say there is not enough dispatchable generation to meet peak demand this summer, forcing the grid to rely on renewables.

FERC approved PJM's revised schedule for the upcoming Base Residual Auctions, incremental auctions and the associated pre-auction deadlines.

MISO has proposed prohibiting some resources from using an emergency commitment status in its markets in order to have wider access to its committed capacity.

The California Energy Commission updated its midterm reliability analysis for 2022-2026, concluding California has enough capacity without adding fossil fuels.
