“New England’s power industry is facing more risks of higher costs and price volatility than it was a year ago, said a study released yesterday by the business customerbacked New England Coalition for Affordable Energy … Daymark Energy Advisors conducted the study that found recent delays and cancellations in energy projects combined with new state policies could have bigger economic consequences through 2020 than previously estimated.
‘The report – and a recent warning by ISO New England that the electric system may become unsustainable during extreme cold weather due to energy supply constraints – are stark reminders that events of the past year put the region’s economy and competitiveness in an increasingly perilous position as we approach 2020,” the coalition’s Carl Gustin said in prepared remarks. “Timely actions to add new energy infrastructure and address energy market uncertainties are needed.'”
