"According to the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in US District Court in Boston, in “flagrant violation” of its contract with the utilities, Hydro-Quebec stopped delivering power over a 12-day stretch “as if it were free to act with impunity,” even though the utilities had to spend an additional $40 million for more expensive energy sources to keep the lights on and heat flowing in the Bay State."

"Hydro-Quebec roared back with an…

ISO-NE issues request for proposals for transmission solutions

Imagine, a grid so crippled and desperate for generation assets, it would re-build  transmission all the way from Aroostook County, Maine to Boston, Massachusetts to transfer, wait for it, wind blown power. I say to Boston, you have wind, use it and keep your hands off Maine assets that count, our landscape and electric bills.

Market monitor issues spring 2026 quarterly report

"The East Coast’s signature climate policy is poised to spike electricity prices just as governors are desperate to lower them."

"A carbon-trading program that covers power plants across 10 mostly blue states from Maine to Maryland is undergoing a price shock. The cost for permission to burn fossil fuels hit a record high this week before cooling after market officials sought to address the issue —…

The transition from convential generating plants to solar, wind and batteries has many traps set to not only raise electricity costs, but can cause castrophobic grid blackouts.…

                                     UNCERTAINTIES !

"New England’s electric power grid is undergoing rapid change. Uncertainties related to the pace and scale of reductions in carbon emissions, growth in electricity demand, and increases in renewable resources and battery storage are just some of the variables that pose challenges now and into the future."

Is ISO-NE saying NESCOE holds all the responsibility and final decision for the $2.2 billion dollar upgrade that ISO-NE solicited bids for? 

"NESCOE’s request is aimed at upgrading the transmission system between northern Maine, where land-based wind generation is expected to increase, and the more populous regions of southern New England, where demand for electricity is highest. The ISO completed its…
