U.S. Northeast, Eastern Canada Power Supplies Said Ample This Summer
Electricity demand in the Northeast and parts of Eastern Canada this summer is projected to be roughly in line with 2020, with adequate capacity margins and sufficient transmission capability to meet needs, according to a regional power coordinator.
In its 2021 reliability assessment, the Northeast Power Coordinating Council Inc. (NPCC) said the summer peak for the combined region is forecast to be around 104,000 MW. The NPCC region includes New York, the six New England states, as well as Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
About 161,200 MW of installed supply capacity is expected to be in place to meet summer demand. Spare operable capacity over and above reserve requirements is “substantial,” according to NPCC. Its projections range from 9,800 MW to 25,000 MW.

NEW YORK (BUSINESS WIRE) May 6, 2021
Northeast Power Coordinating Council, Inc.’s (NPCC’s) annual reliability assessment forecasts the NPCC Region will have an adequate supply of electricity this summer.
The overall NPCC coincident electricity summer peak demand is forecasted to be around 104,000 megawatts (MW), which is approximately the same as last summer. An installed supply capacity of about 161,200 MW is projected to be in place to meet electricity demand this summer.
Forecasts also indicate sufficient transmission capability and adequate capacity margins to meet peak demand and required operating reserves. NPCC’s spare operable capacity (over and above reserve requirements) this summer is substantial with the projection ranging from 9,800 MW to 25,000 MW.
