High Voltage, High Stakes. Join our June 9 transmission forum in Boston. You don’t want to miss this conversation about changes needed for planning and procuring electric transmission to meet New England's growing energy demand. #EnergyTwitterrenew-ne.org/event/transmiss…
#ICYMI: On December 2, @ACORE partnered with @EnergySystemsIG and @Renew_NE to host a workshop on the benefits of HVDC #transmission in Massachusetts. ⚡
Thanks to everyone who participated in this event, including our expert presenters and over 210 attendees.
It’s unacceptable that so much didn’t get done by the end of formal session. Senate President is absolutely right that we should call a special formal session to finish the people’s work — and stay til our work is done #mapoli
NEW: After @MassGovernor publicly urged lawmakers to return to session and pass a sweeping economic development bill, Senate President Karen Spilka says in statement she is “prepared to call special formal session to get it done.” No word yet from House Speaker @RonMariano
Top Democrats on Beacon Hill appeared set to end their final formal meetings of the Legislature’s two-year session without deals on major proposals that had shaped conversations for months, including on economic development and hospital oversight. #mapolibostonherald.com/2024/08/01/…
It may be almost summer now, but remember how a couple of months ago it was frigid? Our brand new analysis found that adding offshore wind generation would significantly offset the increased demand that drives blackout risk during cold snaps. act.ucsusa.org/3Vjj7b8
Our new analysis and report, for @SierraClub, finds that 9 GWs of Offshore Wind by 2030 would save New England an average of $630 million annually on electricity costs. sierraclub.org/press-release…
Groundbreaking for Plus Power's battery energy storage project. Batteries will increase Maine's electric reliability and decrease fossil fuel use at peak times. Thanks to work this year by @GovJanetMills @dan_burgess_, Maine will see more of these projects. @MaineClimate
6. Renewable Generators v. ISO-NE
Bottom Line: ISO-NE is the only region where gens pay for operations and maintenance (O&M) costs of transmission upgrades. Costs are unpredictable, not transparent, beyond their control.
Docket No. EL23-16

A new poll of voters in MA, ME, and NH released today by RENEW Northeast clearly shows strong public support for the transition to 100% clean and #renewableenergy with states working together to plan and build new electric #transmission. renewne.org/transmission-blu…
