      Overview of Transmission Service in New England

      As the Regional Transmission Organization, one of the ISO’s responsibilities is overseeing and coordinating transmission of electric power within, into, out of, or through the New England BAA. This is the collection of generation, transmission, and loads within metered boundaries spanning Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine (excluding the portions of Maine included within the Maritimes BAA). The transmission facilities within the New England BAA include pool transmission facilities, non-pool transmission facilities, merchant transmission facilities, and other transmission facilities.

      Several types of transmission services are available in New England, including the following:

      • Regional Network Service (RNS) to use the pool transmission facilities to move electricity into or within the New England BAA
      • Through or Out Service (T/Out) to use the pool transmission facilities to move electricity out of or through the New England BAA
      • Local Transmission Service to use the non-pool transmission facilities to move electricity over a local network located within the New England BAA
      • CSC Transmission Service to use the Cross-Sound Cable (CSC) tie line to move electricity into, out of, or through the New England BAA
      • Phase I/II Transmission Service to use the Phase I/II tie line to move electricity into, out of, or through the New England BAA
      • Generator Interconnection to connect a generator to New England’s transmission system to be able to obtain service and move energy
      • Transmission Upgrades to request an addition to, upgrade of, or modification of either the pool transmission facilities or the non-pool transmission facilities
