New York City could be short as much as 650 MW in capacity in the summer of 2026, according to NYISO’s Short Term Assessment of Reliability for the third quarter.

NYISO said it is no longer concerned about a violation of reliability criteria in New York City in 2033 and has canceled its search for a solution.

In response to stakeholder criticism, NYISO updated its draft Reliability Needs Assessment to include an executive summary and appendices, and extended the comment period on the report.

NYISO released the first draft of its 2024 Reliability Needs Assessment showing a capacity deficiency in New York City beginning in 2033 and proposing to declare a reliability need for its zone.
