Under normal weather and system conditions, New England's electric power supplies are expected to be adequate to meet regional demand this summer, according to ISO New England Inc., the operator of the region's bulk power system and wholesale electricity markets.

However, reduced and uncertain supplies of liquefied natural gas to power generation in the Northeast Massachusetts/Greater Boston area during the summer could create local reliability challenges to that portion of the power grid if extreme summer weather conditions, with high consumer demand, occur or if unexpected resource outages occur.

Under normal weather conditions, all areas of the region's grid should have adequate supply.

New England has about 32,800 MW of total capacity that includes generation, demand resources, and imports from neighboring areas.
