  • Finalized Auction Results Confirm Sufficient Capacity Resources for New England During 2024–2025
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ellen Foley (413) 535-4139 Janine Saunders (413) 540-4408 Finalized Auction Results Confirm Sufficient Capacity Resources for New England during 2024–2025 Holyoke, MA—February 26, 2021—Finalized results confirm that New England’s annual capacity auction concluded with sufficient secured resources to meet projected electricity needs three years in the future. ISO New England Inc. filed the results today with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The filing also includes a list of electricity resources committed to ensuring reliable power for New England for the same period. Capacity acquired and retained The 15th Forward Capacity Market (FCM) auction (FCA 15), conducted on February 8, procured capacity for the June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025 capacity year. In total, commitments for 34,621 megawatts (MW) were secured. This capacity is comprised of 29,243 MW of generation, 3,891 MW of demand resources, and 1,487 of imports from New York, Québec, Canada and New Brunswick, Canada. More than 2,525 MW of new resources within New England secured obligations. Of this total, approximately 19 MW received their obligations under the renewable technology resource (RTR) designation, which is the last year for this exemption. The eligibility requirements to conduct a substitution auction were not met in this auction, so there are no results to report. Prices FCA 15 concluded with three different prices across four regional capacity zones: Northern New England (NNE), made up of Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire; Maine, which includes Maine alone and is nested within NNE; Southeast New England (SENE), comprising Northeastern Massachusetts, Greater Boston, Southeastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island; and Rest of Pool (ROP), which includes Connecticut and western and central Massachusetts.

  • Connecticut Energy and Technology Committee Informational Forum on Storm Response and Rate Increases
    Connecticut Energy and Technology Committee Informational Forum on Storm Response and Rate Increases Testimony of ISO New England Anne George, VP External Affairs & Corporate Communications Eric Johnson, Director, External Affairs August 27, 2020: 10:30 a.m. via Zoom Thank you for inviting us to join you virtually to share what we do as New England’s independent system operator, and how we work closely with both our federal regulator—the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission—as well as with the states, and specifically, Connecticut. These comments address the announced topics of the hearing. Additional topics were raised during the hearing and we look forward to the opportunity to continue this conversation with the committee. ISO New England is responsible for ensuring the reliable operation of the New England electric grid, administering the region’s wholesale electricity markets, and conducting regional system planning and ensuring resource adequacy. The ISO is independent of companies in the marketplace, does not own transmission or generation assets, and has no financial interest in any companies participating in the region’s wholesale electricity markets. ISO New England, the wholesale markets that it administers, and the power system that it operates are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and ultimately governed by the Federal Power Act (FPA). The Federal Power Act also grants states the authority to determine the resource mix within their jurisdictions, as well as set retail electricity prices. The balance created by the FPA among the states and the federally regulated ISO shapes the electricity landscape that we have in New England today.

  • Summary of ISO New England Board and Committee Meetings September 13, 2019 Participants Committee Meeting
    NEPOOL PARTICIPANTS COMMITTEE SEP 13, 2019 MEETING, AGENDA ITEM #4 Summary of ISO New England Board and Committee Meetings September 13, 2019 Participants Committee Meeting Since the last update, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee met by teleconference on August 21. In addition, the Audit and Finance Committee, the Markets Committee, the System Planning and Reliability Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee each met in Holyoke on August 22. Please note that the committees are meeting again on September 12, as is the Board, which will hold its “annual” meeting on that date. At the annual meeting, the Board elects officers and directors and establishes committee assignments. We will provide the committee updates on our usual schedule, i.e., in time for the October Participants Committee meeting. However, I will also provide an oral update at the September 13 meeting regarding Board resolutions to the extent they involve changes in the Board’s leadership, including committee leadership. I will revise and repost this report after the September 13 meeting to include the details of committee membership. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee met in executive session to review the Company’s succession and development plans. The Audit and Finance Committee reviewed a report from the Code of Conduct Compliance Officer and also agreed to recommend that the Board adopt two changes to the Code of Conduct at the Board’s September meeting. (If the Board approves these changes, we will report on them in the next CEO report.) Next, the Committee received an update on internal audit activities, as well as highlights of recent audits.
