Access documents related to the Asset Condition Reviewer Key Project.
Transmission Owners (TOs) have been proposing a growing number of asset condition projects (ACPs) to refurbish deteriorating transmission facilities. Historically, ISO New England has had limited involvement in the TOs’ ACP proposals and is supportive of state and stakeholder requests for the development of a robust process for additional, independent review of ACP proposals.
With certain boundary conditions established in conjunction with state and TO representatives in 2025 regarding the ISO’s role in ACPs, ISO New England committed to take on an advisory role as Asset Condition Reviewer (ACR), with the goal of having the permanent ACR role in place by the end of 2026.
In parallel in 2025-2026, the ISO plans to use a consultant to begin reviewing some ACP proposals in an interim phase and facilitate stakeholder review and discussion of the consultant’s feedback.
