New England Grid Operator Warns Trump Pause On Wind Farm Risks Reliability

"The operator of New England’s electric grid warned Monday that the Trump administration’s move to halt a nearly completed offshore wind farm will cause risks to the reliability of the electric grid.

“Delaying the project will increase risks to reliability,” said grid operator ISO New England in a Monday statement.

“Recent heatwaves in New England drove demand for electricity to very high levels and demonstrated that our region needs all generation resources with market obligations to be available to meet demand and maintain required reserves,” the regional transmission operator said."
