New Englanders could be asked to limit their electricity usage this winter amid increased global fuel demand, according to the region’s grid operator.
In a Monday news release, ISO New England said the region should have enough electricity supplies to make it through mild and moderate weather conditions this winter.
However, “if long periods of severely cold weather develop, we’ll lean on our forecasting tools to identify potential problems early enough to take proactive measures, such as calling for increased fuel deliveries or asking for public conservation,” ISO-NE President and CEO Gordon van Welie said in a statement.
