ISO New England, Inc. ("ISO New England") has published its 2017 Regional Electricity Outlook, an annual report intended to keep stakeholders informed about issues affecting the grid and the ISO's actions to ensure a modern, reliable power system for New England. The report includes an address from each of ISO New England's Board Chair and its Chief Executive Officer. Both addresses warn against the threat that inadequate supply of natural gas to fuel generators poses to the ISO New England transmission system's reliability. Additionally, the report examines the challenge of balancing competitive markets with state environmental policies. The report also provides performance metrics and updates on ISO New England's initiatives related to cyber security, stakeholder processes, and compliance with the standards and directives issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council.
