15-2 Operations

Are you aware of any databases that identify natural gas shortages that have occurred in our region over approximately the last 5 years? If so, please furnish copies and/or electronic links

RESPONSE 15-2:

 

There is little data publicly available on natural gas (NG) shortages requiring power plants in ISO-NE to switch to diesel.  However, Invenergy can see from publicly available EPA emissions records when duel fuel plants have fired with diesel fuel, (https://ampd.epa.gov/ampd/), and Invenergy can infer that these instances may have been due to possible NG shortages.
