Our latest PowerLines is on electricity affordability. A confounding issue is the widening gap between some of the lowest wholesale electricity prices in decades and rising retail energy supply costs. Why is that happening and what got us to this point? nepga.org/no-but-really-…

The New England grid passed one winter test, but market reforms are still needed Constructive collaboration should be celebrated while the region works to fine-tune its market to drive and sustain investments, writes NEPGA President Dan Dolan. utilitydive.com/news/cold-new-…

Winter Storm Fern & its cold aftermath was no joke in New England. Yet, extraordinary coordination occurred across industry and all levels of government. New England’s electricity market also did what it needed to do. I looked back in @UtilityDive utilitydive.com/news/cold-new-…

Enjoyed a great day (though not a great drive home!) in Boston yesterday at the @NEPowerGen Energy Summit. Power generators are the most important source of property tax revenue for many granite state communities.

New England's power grid operator has released its winter outlook detailing what to expect for electric reliability in the region. For an in depth look at how @ISOnewengland operates and the coming winter and those to come, check out our latest podcast episode featuring President and CEO Gordon van Welie: epsa.org/in-the-hot-sea… #winter #powergrid #newengland #weather #electricity #winterheating

We are honored to have the @ENERGY acting Undersecretary of Energy, Alex Fitzsimmons, join the New England Energy Summit to provide the view from Washington. There is still time to register to hear from our stellar program at newenglandenergysummit.com

2025 is the year of data centers and AI. New England has opportunities to learn the lessons from the growth in other markets and determine the best, right path forward. To help decode all of that we have a fantastic group of people at the center of this hugely exciting space.

Wholesale and retail energy costs are under renewed focus to ensure affordability and the right level of investment to maintain reliability. We have a stellar group coming to explore these issues and what can/should be done to improve the alignment for a sustainable marketplace.

Another awesome CEO Roundtable. Our popular annual panel offers a unique chance to hear from the decision makers on what drives investment decisions, technology choices, and what they look for in an electricity market. Register at newenglandenergysummit.com

The independent national analysis from @BerkeleyLab highlighted by @EENewsUpdates is incredibly timely as states examine electric affordability and regulatory oversight. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

While 3 of the last 5 years have been the lowest wholesale electricity price years ever in the region, wholesale transmission costs have increased 9X in 20 years. New England pays the highest transmission rates in the country!

T&D costs "accounted for 44% of utilities’ capital expenditures in 2023 and has risen steadily since 2019... Spending on generation, by contrast, has been falling steadily since that time, amounting to 25% of capital expenditures in 2023." From @bstorrow subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

Financial policies are shifting fast and energy is feeling the impact. On December 2, @EPSA_CEO will moderate a panel at the @NEPowerGen New England Energy Summit with Anthony Crowdell and Timothy Fox. They’ll discuss what these shifts mean for energy, investment, and overall financial health. Register: newenglandenergysummit.com #EPSA #NEPGA #EnergyPolicy #EnergyFinance

Financial policies have changed dramatically with extraordinary implications. We have a fantastic group of experts to delve into that at the New England Energy Summit and what it means for energy, investments, and overall financial health. Join us on Dec. 2.

NEPGA proudly announces a special New England Energy Summit session on the legacy & leadership of Gordon van Welie over 20+ years @isonewengland. This conversation will be led by another accomplished leader with deep New England ties, Thad Hill. newengandenergysummit.com

On Rev Wind stop work order, Dan Dolan of New England Power Generators Assn @NEPowerGen says "Actions like this... jeopardize long-term electric reliability... and raise costs."

The New England Power Generators Association (NEPGA) is seeking immediate action from FERC to address what it calls “serious flaws” in the design of ISO-NE’s pay-for-performance (PFP) mechanism. See Full Story: ow.ly/z1LL50WArCY Writer: Jon Lamson

We’ve had a warm summer so far and just like those other muggy days, the New England grid is leaning on a huge array of facilities to meet some of the highest demand in years, both in front of and behind the meter. I’m proud of this remarkable fleet that keeps us cool & powered.
