May 6, 2021 GMT
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.
