ISO-NE is proposing tariff changes intended to update how the RTO assigns capacity rights to resources not subject to its interconnection processes.

ISO-NE’s first interconnection cluster study held under new Order 2023 rules is made up mostly of large battery resources and contains only five wind and solar projects.

ISO NE CEO Gordon van Welie talked about the evolving grid in New England and how markets are changing and what the future holds as state policies drive higher demand and increasing decarbonization.

ISO-NE presented a high-level overview of how it plans to account for resource deliverability in its updated capacity accreditation framework.

ISO-NE identified nine projects to include in an interim asset condition review process starting in November, which will proceed as the RTO works to stand up internal condition review capabilities by the start of 2027.

ISO-NE received six proposals from four different companies in response to its request for proposals to address transmission constraints and interconnect onshore wind in Maine.

Projected energy efficiency investments in New England over the next three years will generate an estimated $19.3 billion in lifetime benefits, returning $2.93 for every dollar spent, according to new analysis by the Acadia Center.

A U.S. district court judge in Massachusetts granted NextEra Energy’s motion to dismiss claims the company violated federal and state antitrust laws in its efforts to block the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission project.

Capacity auction reforms, a new asset condition reviewer role, parallel transmission planning efforts, new reserve products, Pay-for-Performance changes and interconnection modifications are likely to be on the docket for ISO-NE in 2026.
