Regional Energy Reform

Ensuring that electricity is delivered reliably and in a way that maximizes consumer and environmental benefits is critical to the Northeast’s future. Decisions being made now and in the coming years about the regional transmission grid affect billions of dollars in new investments. With new technologies and approaches available, the Northeast has an opportunity to usher in a new system that is clean, secure and affordable for all consumers.
 

Background

ENE is participating in working groups and conducting research to help the region assess options as energy planning processes unfold in the Northeast.

As members of an official working group in the FCM process, ENE contributed to proposals and policy analyses on various elements and details of the market rule that applied to conservation, efficiency and consumer benefits. ENE also worked behind the scenes, meeting with state and regional stakeholders throughout New England to advocate for the fair treatment of demand side resources in the FCM.

ENE is participating in working groups and conducting research to help the region assess options as energy planning processes unfold in the Northeast. ENE was actively involved in recent ISO New England Scenario Analysis, providing comment and assumptions for this modeling assessment. We are also working with officials in Maine and Canada on how new plans for cross-border energy transmission could affect the states and provinces’ economies, energy policies and efforts to achieve emissions goals.
