Energy security continues to be a critical reliability issue for New England as ISO-NE develops its 2019 Regional System Plan.

ISO-NE kicked off its formal annual review of the transmission system to delineate zones for Forward Capacity Auction 14.

The ISO-NE Planning Advisory Committee discussed the Regional System Plan, Eversource's work replacing aging transmission towers and the EIPC.

ISO-NE forecasts a net installed capacity requirement value of 34,000 MW for capacity commitment period 2023/24, officials told the PAC.

Only six of 32 interconnection requests studied by ISO-NE in its initial test of its new queue clustering methodology have moved on.

ISO-NE's 10-year Capacity, Energy, Loads and Transmission (CELT) forecast predicts 2026 annual net load will be about 3.7% lower than estimated in the 2017 forecast.

ISO-NE’s draft 10-year Capacity, Energy, Loads and Transmission (CELT) forecast is reducing projected summer loads in 2026 by nearly 6%.

ISO-NE could see substantial “spillage” of renewable energy and large price separations under scenarios considered in the RTO’s 2017 Economic Study.

ISO-NE is asking distribution utilities in the region to adopt interim ride-through rules for solar PV inverters.

Real-time price data from 2018 indicate the ISO-NE grid is nearly free of congestion, stakeholders learned during a PAC teleconference.
