ISO-NE is the not-for-profit corporation responsible for overseeing the region’s bulk power grid, wholesale electricity markets, and power system planning.
ISO-NE has published its latest Regional Electricity Outlook, an overview of trends affecting New England’s power system and the ISO’s innovative work to ensure reliable, competitively priced electricity. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3RMF6bM
“Behind-the-meter” (BTM) is a term that shows up frequently in discussions of solar power. However, the term can refer to different data collection methods that align with ISO New England’s three critical roles. Get the details here: https://bit.ly/4bvYSih

It’s not up to ISO-NE employees to pick and choose which resources supply electricity. Instead, the ISO runs energy markets where power plants and other resources compete based on price. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3SgHQOu
One week from today: Join ISO-NE load forecasters for a webinar on key findings from the 2026 CELT Report, a foundational resource for bulk power system planning and reliability studies. Details here: https://bit.ly/44c9kY0
ISO-NE administers wholesale markets whose goal is to provide the region with reliable electricity at competitive prices. Here's an overview of how resources are selected and prices are set in the energy markets. https://bit.ly/4eq8Diu
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ISO New England’s system operators are on the job helping to keep the lights on for more than 15 million people. On National Control Room Workers Day, we thank these highly trained professionals for their dedication and commitment.
The region’s energy markets start with the lowest-priced supply offers and work their way up until there is enough electricity to meet consumer demand. Learn more: https://bit.ly/49SFUBC
“We plan and train to the extreme, so that when the normal things happen, we can deal with those much easier.” — Jon Gravelin, senior manager, Control Room Operations Learn more about how we prepare for the summer in this ISO Minute.
The ISO projects consumer demand for electricity will peak at 25,228 MW under normal summer conditions. Very hot and humid weather could drive demand to 26,473 MW. Find out what this means for the regional power grid in our summer outlook: https://bit.ly/4ubUtYs
The annual CELT Report is the foundation of our system planning and reliability studies. From datasets and presentations detailing different aspects of the long-term forecast to ISO Newswire articles adding context, find all of our CELT resources in one place: https://bit.ly/4uFPzUs
Summer is when the region typically sees its highest demand for electricity. ISO New England expects sufficient energy supplies this summer. Get all the details in our summer outlook: https://bit.ly/4dBGswA
ISO New England joins a grateful nation in honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. #MemorialDay
Ahead of each summer, ISO-NE compares anticipated contributions from the region’s fleet of energy resources against projected consumer demand for electricity across a variety of weather scenarios. Learn more about our preparations: isonewswire.com/2026/05/21/n...
Batteries form a small but growing share of the resources providing energy to the New England grid. And for the first time, that share is now represented in the Resource Mix Graph and Resource Mix Chart on ISO Express, and our mobile app, ISO to Go. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4dquTZ0
Electricity bills can be confusing, and lately they’re more expensive. ISO New England operates the grid and wholesale markets. We don’t set retail rates or delivery charges. Watch to learn who does what, and what is behind the cost of electricity in the region. www.iso-ne.com/about/what-w...
Integrating a new external tie line into the regional power grid took years of collaborative work involving experts from departments across ISO New England. A five-part series on ISO Newswire spotlights their contributions. https://bit.ly/4npe05B
The increased cost of electricity in recent years reflects a mix of factors, including fuel prices, weather, infrastructure needs, and public policy decisions. A new ISO-NE fact sheet breaks down the components of a typical retail electricity bill. Learn more: https://bit.ly/48HbGkr
The first 2026 meeting of the Consumer Liaison Group (CLG) focused on climate resilience and grid innovation. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4n1p5JT
The ISO's Operations Technical Studies team performs detailed engineering analyses to understand the effects each new resource might have on the power system. They were key players in a multi-year effort to integrate an external tie line into the grid. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4mVJDn9
From new transmission lines to evolving market rules, staff at ISO New England are working to ensure power grid operators are always ready for what’s next. Learn about the System Operations Readiness team: https://bit.ly/48ANL68
Adding a external transmission line was new legal territory for ISO-NE. Helping the organization navigate the unfamiliar ground was Jillian Kasow, who brings a unique blend of legal expertise, energy policy insight, and an understanding of narratives. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4tOlgtS
Retail electricity bills include several charges that help generate electricity, deliver it to your home, and keep the power system reliable. No single organization controls all of the costs. Learn more about what makes up a retail electricity bill: https://bit.ly/4cjNMOk
Demand on the regional power grid is lower during the spring, but that doesn’t mean ISO New England, electricity generators, and transmission providers are taking a break. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4tUL6ws
