Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Power Industry is booming in the U.S. Northeast and New England market regions, encompassing a range of projects such as wind, solar, natural gas, and transmission and distribution. The Northeast market region includes Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and the New England region includes Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Industrial Info is tracking about 115 power projects in the regions that are planned to kick off in first-quarter 2021. New York, which has a lofty renewable portfolio standard of achieving 70% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% net-zero emissions by 2040, leads the region in planned investment, with more than $2.6 billion in planned project activity.

Wind seems to be the primary renewable fuel source to which developers are turning in New York. Among the state's largest windfarms planned to kick off construction in the upcoming quarter is the Canisteo Hills Windfarm in Canisteo, about 75 miles south of Rochester, which is being developed by renewables powerhouse Invenergy LLC (Chicago, Illinois). The facility will include 90 3.2-megawatt (MW) wind turbines to generate about 290 MW. Construction is expected to be completed in first-quarter 2022. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Other planned New York wind projects include NextEra Energy Incorporated's (NYSE:NEE) (Juno Beach, Florida) 102-MW Eight Point Windfarm in Greenwood (see project report) and the 105-MW Number Three Windfarm in Lowville (see project report), another Invenergy project.
Other renewable projects in the region include NextEra's Wintergreen solar facility in Moscow, Maine. The 150-MW facility will be built on an abandoned military radar station and will include an estimated 660,000 photovoltaic modules. Wanzek Construction Incorporated (West Fargo, North Dakota) is providing engineering, procurement and construction on the project, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2021. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are taking off in the U.S., from larger, utility-scale facilities to microgrids. One such project in the region is a planned solar and BESS installation at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York. The installation will feature a 1-MW rooftop solar array on the one of the buildings, a 13-MW array on one of the parking garages and a 7.5-MW BESS to provide 21.5 MW of power to the airport. The project is expected to be completed late next year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Among the region's biggest projects is a natural gas-fired plant in Lakeville, Connecticut, about 30 miles east of Hartford, owned by NTE Energy (St. Augustine, Florida). The Killingly Energy Center will generate 600 MW using Mitsubishi equipment. For more on the project, see Industrial Info's project report and December 2, 2020, article - U.S. Power Producers Ready to Kick Off $2.5 Billion in Projects Delayed by COVID-19 Measures.
All this new power must have a way to reach consumers and among the region's largest transmission and distribution projects is the AC Energy Highway Transmission project in New York, which includes 28 individual projects tracked by Industrial Info, totaling more than $1.2 billion, including new and rebuilt transmission lines, and new and upgraded substations. Project developer LS Power's (New York, New York) website says the project aims to alleviate congestion and support renewables in the state. The project has a targeted in-service date of late 2023.
