In January 2019, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) introduced the interactive, daily New England Energy Dashboard (NED) showing energy market conditions in New England to help users examine many key aspects of the New England energy market. These key aspects include
NED integrates our view of the energy commodities—natural gas, electricity, and petroleum products—and factors that can influence energy consumption, prices, flows, and energy security in New England. The dashboard includes detailed regional information on
Energy delivery infrastructure constraints and outages can have a pronounced influence on New England’s wholesale energy prices, energy flows, and operations. As a result, NED illustrates these constraints, including
Energy systems in a country as large as the United States must be managed regionally because of varying resources, delivery infrastructure, and consumption patterns. Extensive discussion of electricity reliability as a result of the bomb cyclone event in New England during the winter of 2017–18 within the U.S. Department of Energy, and notably at the EIA Energy Conference, underscored the interest in and need for a regional energy dashboard. NED responds to growing concern about U.S. electricity resilience energy management in the winter in New England.
NED condenses significant timely, contextual information on energy use in New England into a dense, web-based product that includes
NED draws on information that EIA collected and produced or gathered automatically from others to provide a picture of energy supply and use in New England that is as close to real-time as data sources will allow. To support this goal, NED is updated every day no later than 10:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. However, some sources of information are updated every five minutes.
This document provides a guide to the sections of NED, including their purpose, the data included, and recommendations for interpretation and use. It also includes a detailed list of data sources used to produce NED.
If you have questions about NED or suggestions for future changes, contact EIA staff at newenglanddashboard@eia.gov.
The NED explanatory notes, sources, and related links documentation is organized into three sections:
The NED Overview section summarizes many indicators and types of visualizations related to New England
This indicator shows the generating capacity that ISO-NE expects to be available for the current operating day, expressed in megawatts. We update this section once a day using an Application Programming Interface (API) call to the ISO-NE Morning Report. The Morning Report provides ISO-NE’s preliminary summary of the expected capacity available to reliably meet the peak-hour electricity demand and reserve requirements to operate the New England power systems .
ISO-NE informs stakeholders about conditions of the New England regional power system by updating the grid status in real-time. EIA accesses the current grid status with an API call to ISO-NE data. Under typical conditions, ISO-NE reports the grid status as Normal, meaning the electricity supply is sufficient to meet expected demand plus required operating reserves. However, ISO-NE has many other codes explaining the status of the power system condition, including varying circumstances when the status is not normal.
This indicator reports on the expected peak electric demand for the current operating day and the hour of the day that demand will occur. These values come from data reported to EIA-930.
This indicator reflects the most current hourly electricity demand data for the New England balancing authority that is reported to the EIA-930. This data is updated hourly and is typically about two hours behind the actual time. The current demand indicator will change every hour; as the day progresses, NED users can see how current demand compares with the forecasted peak demand and available capacity for that day.
This indicator reports yesterday’s peak electric demand and the hour that yesterday’s peak demand took place. These values come from data reported to the EIA-930. This number provides a comparison with the current operating day demand.
This indicator shows the historic record demand in ISO-NE for each season. NED automatically changes the peak demand depending on whether it is summer or winter. The summer period is assumed to be from April 1 through October 31. By contrast, the winter period runs from November 1 through March 31. If a new historic record is set, NED will automatically transition to a new record indicator, depending on the season.
Each day ISO-NE reports generator-related outages or reductions affecting the New England power grid. ISO-NE posts a new estimate of these outages each day. EIA obtains that information from the ISO-NE Morning Report. Generation outages/reductions are reported in megawatts. ISO-NE does not account for transmission line outages.
This indicator shows the regional average availability of nuclear generating units in New England. EIA calculates the average by adding the megawatts of the available units on a given day and dividing that value by total summer or winter generating capacity for those units, depending on the season. Summer-weighting applies to April through October, and winter-weighting applies to November through March. EIA acquires the information each morning from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Two nuclear power plants are currently operating in New England as of June 2019: Seabrook Station and the Millstone Nuclear Power Station. Planned nuclear plant outages are highly seasonal and cyclical. Nuclear plant operators routinely take plants down for maintenance in the spring and fall (called shoulder periods) when electric loads tend to be lower. Further, most nuclear generating plants require fuel recycling every 18–24 months, which can affect the availability of nuclear generation. The unavailability of nuclear generating units can influence locational marginal prices. When nuclear units cannot be dispatched, ISO-NE may dispatch units that require more expensive energy sources, especially in the winter, which can increase locational marginal prices.
In the Morning Report, ISO-NE reports each day on the expected level of net electric interchange that will occur during the 5:00 p.m. hour. This level provides an indicator of how much electricity interchange is likely to occur between the ISO-NE balancing authority and the NYSIO, Hydro-Quebec, and New Brunswick balancing authorities. The values are expressed in megawatts. Negative values represent imports, and positive values represent exports.
This indicator shows the estimated level of total daily net natural gas inflows into New England for the current operating day. The flows account for the total amount of natural gas imported into and exported out of New England each day. Because New England is not a natural gas-producing region, it relies on natural gas deliveries from other North American supply areas. This indicator does not include natural gas imports from these liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification facilities: the Everett LNG Facility and the Northeast Gateway Deepwater Port. Operations at a third facility, the Neptune LNG Deepwater Port, are currently suspended.
This indicator measures the daily natural gas spot price spread between the Algonquin Citygate (Boston) price and
the Henry Hub price—the nation’s primary benchmark location for natural gas price formation. The
difference in prices between these two trading hubs can vary significantly depending on several factors, including:
seasonality or the time of year, the availability of natural gas pipeline capacity in New England, and the
disposition of storms in the Gulf Coast. High basis at the Algonquin Citygate can be a key indicator of weather or
outage-related pipeline constraints, which in turn, can affect fuel selection for power generation, electric
reliability, and LNG needs
This high basis can require electricity imports and use of natural gas peak-shaving(electricity demand response).
This indicator is a proxy measure for the relative profitability or gross margin associated with operating a natural gas combined-cycle plant in New England with a standard 7,000 British thermal unit heat rate per kilowatthour. To find the heat rate, EIA multiplies the spot price of natural gas at the Algonquin Citygate times 7 and subtracts that value by the spot price of power at Nepool-MA. EIA has made no other adjustments for fixed or variable operations and maintenance costs or for emissions costs. The difference between the on-peak price of power and the heat rate-adjusted spot natural gas price is the spark spread. Higher spark spread values represent potentially greater profits from generating electricity from natural gas combined-cycle plants given the market-clearing price of wholesale power and the price of wholesale natural gas expressed in dollars per megawatthour. EIA publishes spark spreads on its website on trade days on its Today in Energy price page. EIA derives the spark spread for New England based on information from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
These three visualizations show the price of energy commodities in the Northeast region for natural gas, electricity, heating oil, and crude oil more broadly. These prices reflect current spot prices, the range of prices during the past week, and the range of prices for the past year—or for the most recent 365 days. These visualizations show the relationships between energy commodity prices in New England during similar periods. The charts also show how current prices compare with prices during the past week and prices during the past year.
Spot prices are shown for
The source of information for the natural gas and electricity prices is S&P Global Market Intelligences. The oil-related prices source is Refinitiv, formerly known as Thomson Reuters.
This visualization is based on an API call to ISO-NE’s real-time fuel mix information. It shows net generation by energy source for the New England system in megawatthours for the most current reporting interval. The energy source definitions used in this chart are slightly different from those provided by ISO-NE. The reported value in the center of the donut chart reflects total generation across all fuel sources for the most recent interval. The timing of the interval updates can vary. ISO-NE’s power grid depends on natural gas to meet regional electricity needs. However, when natural prices spike as a result of various constraints, the relative share of natural gas in the dispatch fuel mix can fall in relative terms because of the unavailability or price of natural gas compared with other energy sources. The source of information for the real-time dispatch fuel mix data is ISO-NE.
This heat map shows the average change in temperature in degrees Fahrenheit between yesterday and today. The geographic regions are National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) climate divisions in New England. This heat map is derived from NOAA temperature data.
This heat map represents the difference between average temperatures today in New England by climate divisions compared with the average (30-year) normal temperatures by New England climate divisions. This map shows how current weather differs from long-term norms; significant departures from normal weather can affect energy loads, prices, outages, flows, constraints, and required fuels. This map is derived from NOAA temperature data.
This heat map represents average daily temperatures by New England climate divisions. The map shows absolute temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. The gradient blue colors signify relatively cooler temperatures and the gradient tan colors signify relatively warmer temperatures. This map is derived from NOAA temperature data.
This visualization animates daily temperatures by climate region within New England. It shows the most recent five days of history and the most recent five forecast days, including the current day’s temperature. NED users can control the display of information by clicking on the play or pause buttons. This map is derived from NOAA temperature data.
This bar chart shows the actual or forecasted high and low temperature range in Boston each day during a 10-day period—five days of historical actual temperature information and five days of forecasted temperature information that includes the current day. It also shows the 30-year normal high and low range for a given day of the year and the relevant historic record high and low for that date. This chart is derived from NOAA temperature data.
The heat table provides the average daily population-weighted temperature by state and the departure from the 30-year normal average temperatures for each state in New England on a population-weighted basis. The value reported in each cell of the table measures the average daily temperature by state. The color of each cell indicates whether that temperature is warmer (tan gradients) or colder (blue gradients) than normal. The values are expressed in degrees Fahrenheit. This visualization is derived from NOAA temperature data.
ISO-NE updates the grid status in real time to provide information about conditions on the New England regional power system. EIA accesses the current grid status with an API call to ISO-NE data. Under typical conditions, ISO-NE reports the grid status as Normal, meaning the electricity supply is sufficient to meet expected demand plus required operating reserves. However, ISO-NE has many other codes explaining the status of the power system condition, including varying circumstances when the condition is not normal.
Today’s peak load represents the hour when the peak load is expected to occur based on data supplied to EIA by the ISO-NE Balancing Authority respondent. The hour when the peak load may occur can change from day to day, but usually it occurs in the early evening. The values for the forecasted peak demand and the projected hour comes from data reported to the EIA-930.
This indicator shows the generating capacity that ISO-NE expects for the current operating day expressed in megawatts. This value is updated once a day using an Application Programming Interface (API) call to the ISO-NE Morning Report. The Morning Report provides ISO-NE’s preliminary summary of the expected capacity available to meet the peak hour electricity demand and reserve requirements to operate the New England power systems reliably. ISO-NE’s Morning Report explains how total available capacity is calculated.
This indicator shows the locational marginal price at the Internal Hub (see New England electricity infrastructure map) determined in the ISO-NE day-ahead market for heavy load hours or any average of the prices from 7:00 a.m. until11:00 p.m. This price is a proxy for the price of electricity in New England. EIA calculates this price based on ISO-NE data. This price is available each day because it is not an on-peak price.
This chart shows the hourly supply and demand of electricity in New England. Electricity supplied each hour includes the electricity generated within New England and the total electricity imported into the region. If net imports are positive, New England is supplementing its generation with electricity imports from other balancing authorities for that hour. If net imports are negative, New England is exporting more electricity than it is importing from other balancing authorities, which reduces the amount supplied in New England on a net basis for that hour. Although net imports are equivalent to net interchange, for this visualization, they are referred to as imports to explain the daily electricity supply stack in New England. The chart also shows the actual hourly demand and the forecasted demand by hour and by day expressed in megawatthours. Users can select different default periods for this visualization: two days, two weeks, or one year. The hourly data are only reported for the two-day and two-week options.
The main source of this information is the EIA-930 electric system operating data.
This stacked area chart shows the energy source for net generation within ISO-NE each hour expressed in megawatthours. The sources of net generation include:
EIA’s other category includes energy sources such as batteries, geothermal, waste heat, wood, and biomass. EIA’s energy source definitions are slightly different from those provided by ISO-NE. Users can select different default periods for this visualization: two days, two weeks, or one year. The hourly data are only reported for the two-day and two-week options.
Users can select or deselect energy sources to include in the area chart by clicking on options in the legend. When users change fuels to be charted, the cumulative totals automatically change.
The source of information for this visualization is the EIA-930 U.S. electric system operating data.
This chart shows locational marginal prices (LMPs) at the Internal Hub in New England for the real-time market and the day-ahead market in dollars per megawatthour. In ISO-NE, real-time prices reflect the prices determined in the current operating day for which ISO-NE dispatches resources to provide electric energy and regulation service and, if necessary, commits additional resources. Day-ahead market prices reflect the prices determined by ISO-NE for each hour of the upcoming day on the calendar day preceding the operating day. Users can select different default periods for this visualization: two days, two weeks, or one year. The hourly data are only reported for the two-day and two-week options.
The source of information for this visualization is ISO-NE.
This chart shows the total megawatts associated with the peak hour or hour of a given day that has the highest actual electric operating load for that day, which comes from hourly data reported to the EIA-930.

This indicator provides an estimate of total daily natural gas consumption in New England from the
residential/commercial, industrial, and electric power sectors. IHS Markit is the source of this data. Total
daily natural gas consumption is a key element affecting energy flows and prices in New England.
This indicator reflects the change in natural gas demand from the previous day. The New England Energy Dashboard provides estimates of natural gas demand and changes in demand every day, including weekends. IHS Markit is the source of this data.
This indicator provides a daily estimate of the utilization of the New England natural gas grid. The utilization measures the flow of natural into New England and compares it with estimated delivery capacity. The flow data and regional capacity values are derived from IHS Markit regional flow data for two corridors in New England: the New York-New Jersey-to-New England corridor and the Canada-to-New England corridor. EIA uses this information to assess natural gas flows relative to estimated regional delivery capacity. Natural gas pipeline constraints can significantly affect New England energy prices and energy security.
This indicator shows the most recent spot price of natural gas at the Algonquin Citygate (Boston). The Algonquin Citygate price is one of the traditional benchmarks of the price of delivering natural gas into New England in the wholesale market. High spot natural gas prices are a key indicator of market stress in New England. S&P Global Market Intelligence is the source of information for the Algonquin Citygate price.

New England regional natural gas infrastructure map shows the locations of LNG regasification terminals, major natural gas pipelines, the Algonquin Citygate trading point, and natural gas constraint points. The map shows daily natural gas flows and changes in million cubic feet per day. It also shows the utilization percent of the natural gas network at locations in New England or adjacent market locations that affect the regional availability of natural gas supplies.
IHS Markit is the source of the natural gas flow information. Point Logic acquires much of this data by scraping the Informational Postings disseminated by interstate natural gas pipeline on their electronic bulletin boards. EIA calculates the daily change in flow and estimated utilization at each flow point. The utilization measure reflects the daily flow divided by a reported or determined value and represents the capacity at a given pipeline location. If a natural gas pipeline capacity value at given point is unavailable, EIA estimates a historic maximum by reviewing daily data trends.
