The state produces enough power to export to the regional grid. About 60% of generation comes from natural gas, 33% from nuclear, and 6% from non-hydro renewables. ISO-NE’s long-range studies show no immediate stability risks, but they do flag dozens of time-sensitive equipment repairs needed before 2034.
Analysts point to three priorities: Accelerating interregional transmission planning, “right-sizing” projects for future demand, and keeping energy affordable in one of the highest-cost regions in the US.
