Defective Engineering Takes Over ISO-NE

Here is the ISO-NE final statement in a 205 page annual market report for 2025:

  "2025 Regional System Plan On December 8, 2025, the ISO published the final version of its 2025 Regional System Plan (RSP25), a comprehensive biennial system planning analysis that provides a 10-year view of New England’s grid.  The report highlights that demand for electricity is projected to grow significantly between 2025 and 2034, driven mostly by states’ clean-energy and electrification policies. These policies are advancing the transition toward renewable generation while increasing adoption of electric vehicles and electric heating, reshaping both the level and timing of electricity consumption. "
"RSP25 also outlines how the power grid will need to adapt to these changes, including managing the rapid growth of behind-the-meter solar, which will push daytime electricity use to new lows on mild, sunny days. It identifies emerging long-term transmission needs and ongoing regional efforts to prepare the grid for more renewable energy, such as projects aimed at increasing transfer capability through Maine and supporting new generation in northern New England. While not a blueprint for future resource development, RSP25 serves as a broad planning tool that helps policymakers, utilities, and stakeholders anticipate challenges and coordinate investments to ensure continued reliability as the region moves toward cleaner energy. "
"While not a blueprint for future resource development." 
Are you kidding,ISO-NE?  This "New Generation" is a 1200 megawatt nameplate capacity wind project that you say can be expected to produce 10% (120 MW) at winter peak hours. At a cost of 2 Billion dollars plus, an engineering defect in your study is obvious.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
