The ISO-NE Consumer Liaison Group discussed FERC Order 2222, the New England Clean Energy Connect and January's tough weather for grid conditions.

With Northeast states backing out of joining TCI-P, states now have a major funding gap for their plans to clean up the transportation sector.

Resource adequacy concerns and market rules and transmission infrastructure to support state clean energy policies highlight the issues facing ISO-NE in 2022.

Limited fuel supplies put the New England grid at heightened risk of emergency actions — including controlled outages — this winter, ISO-NE said.

FERC Commissioner Allison Clements told the ISO-NE CLG that the U.S. is facing a changing resource mix that requires intelligent transmission planning.

DEP Commissioner Melanie Loyzim determined that new statutory changes in Maine would prevent the developers of NECEC from building the line as permitted.

The recent rejection of the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission line was a top concern for attendees at NECBC's Executive Energy Conference.

After Maine voters approved a measure to halt construction of the NECEC transmission line, the line's developer filed a lawsuit challenging the referendum.

Avangrid is “focused on defeating” a ballot referendum designed to halt construction of the NECEC transmission line, CEO Dennis Arriola said.

A delay of the NECEC transmission line could cost Central Maine Power an extra $67 million, according to CEO Thorn Dickinson.
