2016/2017 winter outlook: sufficient power supplies expected, but natural gas pipeline constraints a concern

December 5, 2016

Electricity supplies should be sufficient to meet New England’s consumer demand for electricity this winter, but possible natural gas pipeline constraints could limit electricity production from natural gas power plants. A Winter Reliability Program has been implemented to incentivize gas and oil-fired power plants to procure sufficient fuel before winter begins.

November’s average price of electricity fell on continuing low natural gas prices and low demand

December 21, 2016

Eight of the 10 months with the lowest wholesale power prices in 13 years occurred in 2015 and 2016, including November 2016, with the seventh-lowest monthly price. Low natural gas prices and lower demand for electricity brought November’s average monthly power price down 7%, to $24.30 per megawatt-hour (MWh)* from the November 2015 average price of $26.12/MWh. Total energy consumption in New England in November was the lowest of any November since 2000, and the sixth-lowest consumption of any month since 2000.

One factor rises above the rest when accurately predicting future energy use: the weather

December 15, 2016

Earlier this summer, on July 7, 2016, a cold front moved into New England from the north, leading to unexpectedly cooler temperatures across the region. Boston hovered in the mid-60s for most of the day. An unanticipated thunderstorm in Hartford caused a quick and dramatic drop in temperatures. The cool weather lasted through July 8. For most living in the area, the sudden shift in weather was not much more than a reason to grab an umbrella or jacket. But inside the ISO New England control room, the unforeseen change in weather represented a major challenge because it caused a rapid and significant drop in consumer electric demand.
