October 18, 2016
ISO-New England set the maximum potential costs for the 2016-2017 Winter Reliability Program at about $32 million, more than $6 million lower than they were in 2015-2016. The program pays generators a portion of fuel costs related to any unused inventory levels at the end of winter. For the upcoming program, there are 85 oil-fired units participating, about 4 percent more than last year; four liquefied natural gas units, half of last year’s total; and six demand response units, the same number as last year.
