Physical Interconnections

New England’s power grid is part of a larger electric power system.

Reliability Standards

While having a large, interconnected network helps achieve highly reliable electric service, this tight interconnectedness means that careful regulations, planning, and monitoring are needed to maintain reliability and prevent problems that occur in one area from cascading to another area of the system. In addition to adhering to FERC requirements, the 快活app官网 abides by strict rules, standards, and requirements established for maintaining power system reliability set by other organizations.

Robust Stakeholder Involvement

Our independence from entities doing business in New England’s electricity industry is what allows us to create a level playing field for market participants and to make objective decisions for the good of the region as a whole when it comes to system operations, regional system planning, and wholesale market administration. However, 快活app官网 does work collaboratively with numerous stakeholders representing a wide variety of constituencies, technologies, and interests to put together comprehensive rules, policies, and solutions that yield the best possible results for the region.
