Rightfully, ISO’s warnings have led to panic among the region’s legislators and bureaucrats—ironic, con- sidering that they and their predecessors supported, promoted and enacted policies that have led us to our current situation—high prices and dwindling base load capacity. Policies like Renewable Portfolio Stan- dards, the Renewable Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Net Metering and others have favored expensive, inter- mittent renewable power at the expense of more affordable and reliable base load options. We are going to need new base load generation to power our homes, businesses, hospitals and schools. Unfortunately, the way the energy markets are designed offers little incentive for new investment. Capacity markets are too shallow (three years), and are subject to price “caps” that are in place to protect ratepayers, but in the long run may do more harm than good. Extending capacity to five, six, seven (or more?) years might be enough incentive to bring new capacity into the region. It may also provide some financial security to natural gas electricity generators, allowing them to make longer term fuel com- mitments, which in turn should spur private investment in new natural gas pipeline. Ratepayers could ultimately benefit from a market that trades higher capacity payments for lower energy payments. New Hampshire’s Northern Pass (1200 MW) and Sa- lem, Massachusetts’ Footprint natural gas plant (700 MW) are two projects that could bring much-needed Courtesy photo base load power to New England, but both have been met with opposition.
