New England's Electricity Mix

Where does New England's Electricity Come From?

New England gets its electricity from a range of sources including coal, nuclear, natural gas and oil. Given the predominance of natural gas as a fuel, New England’s electricity supply is one of the nation’s cleanest. However, this dependence has resulted in higher-than-average electricity prices, potential natural gas shortages, and several proposals for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminals.
