The Office of Electric Reliability and the Office of Enforcement are pleased to present the 2017 Summer Seasonal Assessment. This is staff’s annual opportunity to share our summer outlook on the electricity and natural gas markets and reliability matters to better inform the Commission’s understanding of current and future trends.
NERC anticipates that power resources will be able to meet the reference margin levels in most Assessment Areas this summer. The anticipated reserve margin in ISO-NE is projected to be at 14.88 percent, which is slightly below their Reference Margin Level of 15.1 percent.
