In January 2020, Katie Dykes, commissioner of Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection speaking to environmental advocates attending the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters annual environmental summit leveled this broadside at the independent system operator that runs the six-state New England electricity grid and the federal authorities that govern it:
“Because of the lack of leadership on carbon at the ISO-New England, we are at the mercy of a regional capacity market that’s driving investment in more natural gas and fossil fuel power plants that we don’t want and that we don’t need,” she said. “This is forcing us to take a serious look at the costs and benefits of participating in the ISO-New England markets.”
