The dashboard will help analysts and interested participants examine many key aspects of the New England energy market such as:

  • Fuel diversification.
  • Wholesale price volatility.
  • Energy delivery dynamics.
  • Weather's impact on operations.
  • Fuel prices' effect on electricity prices.
  • Regional and on-site fuel stocks.

EIA will update the New England Dashboard every day by 10.30 am Eastern Standard Time, including on weekends. The dashboard includes detailed regional information on temperatures; various fuel prices; locational marginal prices; the status of the electric grid, outages and available capacity; current and projected load; liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports; electricity generation fuel mix; inter-regional electric transmission and natural gas flows; and petroleum product stocks.

Sources for the dashboard include both EIA and third-party data. Key series from third-party sources include actual and forecast temperatures from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); various electric price, load, generation, interchange, operating statistics, and fuel mix information from the Independent System Operator New England (ISO-NE); natural gas demand, LNG imports, and natural gas pipeline flows from OPIS PointLogic; crude oil and petroleum product prices from Refinitiv; and spot natural gas and electricity prices from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Dashboard users can:

  • Select information by fuel.
  • Choose customised time periods and other ranges for graphics.
  • Display data contents on graphs.
  • Animate temperature trends.
  • Print the entire dashboard as well as individual visualisations.
  • Download selected data series or images.
  • Automate data transfer through access to real-time information Application Programming Interface calls.

The commentary section will provide analysis of recent New England energy market conditions when a situation warrants more insight.

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, the New England Dashboard illustrates these constraints, including:

  • Nuclear generating capacity availability.
  • Real-time locational marginal prices by ISO-NE zone and electric interface.
  • Electric generation outages and reductions.
  • Interactive map indicating natural gas pipeline capacity use at key flow points affecting New England.
