About the New England grid region

The New England region is operated by ISO New England, covering all six New England states. Winter is its hard season: the region depends on natural gas that also heats homes, so deep cold snaps squeeze generation and demand at the same time.

On the map, this region is part of the Eastern Interconnection. Its status color comes from the ratio of actual demand to the bias-corrected day-ahead forecast: green means headroom, amber and orange mean it is tightening, and red means demand has met or passed what the operator expected, or a real emergency has been declared.

States served (by dominant load)
