New research from regional grid operator ISO New England shows the electrification of the transportation and heating sector will contribute to more electricity usage.

Spiking winter energy prices are the result of a crisis that has been a decade in the making, after New England opted to bet on natural gas.

The grid operator’s report shows wind power could play a much larger role in the future.

Federal regulators are investigating whether a natural gas-fired power plant outside Boston misled ISO New England, the region’s power grid operator. They’re also investigating ISO New England's fraud detection process as part of the incident.

A controversial rule that makes it harder for renewable energy projects to participate in one of New England’s lucrative electricity markets will remain in place for another two years. Late Friday night, Federal energy regulators approved a plan from the regional grid operator, ISO New England, to keep the so-called minimum offer price rule — or MOPR — until 2025.

Officials at regional grid operator ISO New England said energy demand fell to its lowest point ever on Sunday, May 1.

Regional energy grid operator ISO-New England closed its annual capacity auction with enough power resources to meet demand — without a proposed natural gas plant in Killingly, Connecticut, in the mix.

Connecticut Energy and Environmental Commissioner Katie Dykes earlier this month got onboard with a two-year delay for a key component of her pet project — reforming the New England electric grid.

ISO-New England warned on Monday that natural gas pipeline constraints, global supply chain problems and a shortage in fuel delivery truck drivers put the region’s power system at risk.

ISO-New England has sought permission from federal regulators to terminate its contract to buy electricity from the proposed northeastern Connecticut facility.
