Offshore wind will produce thousands of megawatts of electric power, way more than the onshore transmission system is currently able to absorb, an expert says.

ISO-NE’s Consumer Liaison Group held its quarterly meeting in New Hampshire, its first gathering since climate activists won seats in the group in December.

State regulators and others urged FERC to increase oversight of “local” transmission projects while TOs insisted existing cost controls are sufficient.

ISO-NE touted its role in New England’s energy transition as it announced the final results of Forward Capacity Auction 17, for the 2026-27 procurement period.

FERC released its State of the Market report, which showed some of the highest natural gas and power prices in years.

Oral arguments Wednesday on the appeal of FERC’s approval by operation of law of the Southeast Energy Exchange Market focused on the issue of deadlines.

ISO-NE procured 31,370 MW in this year’s capacity auction, the grid operator said Friday.

A group pressing Massachusetts’ transition to carbon-free fuels is trying to head off consideration of hydrogen as a wide-scale replacement for natural gas.

ISO-NE has more work to do to comply with Order 2222, FERC said, faulting its metering and participation rules for DER aggregations.

The U.S. clean energy transition hit new highs in 2022 in terms of renewable energy and storage deployed, says the Business Council for Sustainable Energy.
