"Because New England’s energy markets select the lowest-priced resources to produce the electricity needed to meet consumer demand, oil-fired generators were dispatched more frequently during stretches of cold weather this winter as global LNG prices and high firm natural gas demand made natural-gas-fired generators more expensive to run."

"New England power plants burned about 80 million gallons of oil from December through…

• How does a reliable electrical generation plant get a boost in value and consequently pass this value in increased prices to the ratepayer?
•  
  
  Putting all of the ghastly natural gas prices aside as they are a reflection of the worldwide solar and wind insurgency.
  
  But, in New England:

• In Connecticut, it is having the ratepayers paying a premium to their Millstone Nuclear Plant to keep it from closing down.
• In Massachusetts, it is…

New England Is Facing Blackouts This Winter: Grid Operator

Commission Decision Regarding Procurement Results, No Later than November 1, 2022

•      The wholesale electric pricing market, the key guide in comparing pricing offers from wind, solar, battery and transmission developments, is in chaos, completely…

  Grid scale wind and solar developments promised ratepayers relief from high electricity costs.
