Tensions between New England states and ISO-NE came to a head last year when five governors issued a joint statement calling for reforms to the RTO.

State energy leaders from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine outlined their long-term strategies to achieve decarbonization goals.

Combined heat and power systems harbor great potential for small applications, but adopters must face that system costs do not fall in proportion to size.

The COVID-19 pandemic upended legislative business across New England, though state legislatures still advanced energy legislation.

NESCOE called on ISO-NE to increase its transparency and the role of states, saying the current structure is incompatible with their clean energy efforts.

ISO-NE stakeholders said the call for reforms by New England governors is a precursor to a seismic shift in relations between the states and the RTO.

The governors of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont released a joint statement calling for reforms to ISO-NE.

Stronger federal leadership is needed to help New England’s decarbonization efforts, Massachusetts' and Connecticut's top energy officials said.

The Maine PUC announced a 546-MW procurement of renewable energy, its largest since restructuring more than 20 years ago.

Stakeholders are complaining about the nominating process for former Maine PUC Commissioner Mark Vannoy's appointment to ISO-NE’s board.
