ISO-NE is proposing a pilot study to analyze the potential curtailments experienced by new generation from the addition of offshore wind on Cape Cod.

ISO-NE presented the PAC with potential study conditions to identify transmission needs under increased penetration of distributed, renewable and storage resources.

Economy-wide carbon dioxide emissions in New England fell by 28 to 34% between March and June versus a year earlier.

ISO-NE identified a 160-MVAR reactor at National Grid’s Golden Hills 345-kV substation as a key part of its solution to Boston’s 2028 needs.

Several projects in Maine have withdrawn from the interconnection queue since the second Maine Resource Integration Study began, the ISO-NE PAC learned.

ISO-NE projects net installed capacity requirements will increase and procedures could be needed to overcome a shortage of “operable” capacity.

Two of three economic study requests presented at ISO-NE’s Planning Advisory Committee meeting pertained to offshore wind development.

Ten transmission upgrades have been placed in service in New England since October, ISO-NE engineer Jon Breard told the RTO’s Planning Advisory Committee.
