The Future Grid Reliability Study (FGRS) was performed by ISO New England at the request of the New England Power Pool (NEPOOL) as the 2021 Economic Study. The ISO’s Economic Studies evaluate various potential futures for electric generation resource mixes, changes to demand for electric power, transmission topology changes, and other possible assumptions against various economic and engineering metrics to inform and guide the states government, industry stakeholders, the public, and future ISO work. The FGRS was a seminal Economic Study that was developed by NEPOOL for over a year before its submission to the ISO – evaluating three different visions of the 2040 New England power grid and numerous alternatives through up to five types of analyses. In FGRS, visions of the future power grid has departed significantly enough from current operations that it strains current modeling tools. This presentation will cover the origin of FGRS, the goal of the study, how the ISO performed the study, key takeaways, lessons learned, and future work that builds off of FGRS.
